Obertraun Dachsteinhöhlen Bahnhof

Spectacular place

Very nice train station in the mountains

It was a great experience for me to stop here cause I wanted to get to obertraun cable to the top of the mountain which was amazing

Lovely train station.

It was very quiet and romantic place under snow. I had made the snowman. Hope it doesn't die and can be found by everyone.

Its the longest cable car ever in my life time, awesome view, check attached pic

Please don’t go there during winter. I had been here on last December to celebrate my sister’s birthday. We paid more than 100 euro per night. I believed that It will be worth however when I arrived at here, everything was out of my control. First of all, The staff at station is super unkind and they don’t care the passengers. As soon as we arrived at the station in the middle of night, the first thing we saw was the little children wearing some creepy goblin masks, (I knew that becuae they are smaller than me) they started to slap me and my sister with wood sticks. I screamed because it was really creepy and it even hurting so I told them to stop but they didn’t. The staff of the station was just staring us and didn’t do anything. I asked the staff to tell them stop but he didn’t do anything. He just watching it. I was very upset and shouted to stop but still they didn’t. We decided to ignore them and left however the children were following us and tried to hit us again. I couldn’t stand it anymore. When I got to the accommodation, I wanted to report this to the police station so I asked the accommodation staff, he explained what was going on in Obestraun. They have a kind of tradition of hitting people with wood stick on December however they shouldn’t do that to tourists because tourist did’t know this tradition. I was outrageous to the station’s staff and the children who were slamming us. I still don’t like this place because of this memory. It was the worst memory in my entire life during traveling. We went to Hallstatt next day. There was heavy snow..we hop on the bus and enjoy sort of scenery. People should know during the winter, all accommodation and shops are closed here. DO NOT GO HERE IN WINTER. We missed one bus going back to our accommodation so we had to wait for another 1 hour, we did then, there was no bus for 2 hours. The time table was useless. We wanted to hire a taxi and they said they will take 45 mins to get here. There was no way going back to accommodation. It was a disaster. We were shoveling there for almost 2 hours with snow and rain.. My advice for here is If you want to visit here, NEVER visit here in Winter, it must be summer.

Amazing location. There are also waiting rooms, fresh rooms and ticket purchases at the train station.
