Pferdeeisenbahnweg

Today, a dense rail network surrounds the globe – the means of transport "railway" has long been an integral part of our lives!

In Wels, the history of the railway did not begin with steam, diesel or electricity, but with horses.

As early as the 19th century, the horse-drawn railway "Budweis-Gmunden" led straight through Wels. Even though the tracks have disappeared today, the buildings where the passenger station used to be or the load station with repair facilities, storage rooms, the lab station, the guard houses and the horse stands have been, are well-preserved. Some of these "horse-drawn railway stations" can be admired along the former horse railway route.
