** We are officially prohibited from transporting people with a severe walking disability on the Märchenbahn. In the event of an evacuation, there is too great a safety risk for this group of people. We ask for your understanding.
We recommend the ride for children aged 4 and over. Please note that parts of the tunnel are in the dark during the ride and some (even older) children may be frightened. Please consider whether your child is old enough for the ride.
The temperature in the mountain is 8 to 12°C all year round, so we recommend suitable clothing.
The total ride time is approx. 25 minutes. It is not possible to leave the train early.
The entrance to the Grazer Märchenbahn is located directly on Schloßbergplatz in Graz, just below the Felsensteig.
We can be reached by public transport on tram lines 3 and 5, Schloßbergplatz stop.
Please note that group reservations are only possible for groups of 15 persons OR MORE.
As only 20 people can be transported PER trip, groups of more than 20 persons (incl. accompanying persons / tour guides) will have to be split up and assigned to different trips. Please take this into account in your planning.
Please note that this is only a reservation enquiry. In case of a confirmed reservation you will be notified directly via email.
When you look at the Schloßberg, it is hard to believe that it conceals a kilometre-long, branched tunnel system that provided shelter for over 40,000 people during the 2nd World War. After that, this labyrinth in Graz’s ‘local mountain’ was forgotten for many years, and it wasn’t until 1968 that a small section was reopened – you may remember the ‘Schloßberg Grotto Railway’, which entertained visitors for decades and generations with its nostalgic flair and traditional fairytale scenes?
A lot has changed since then, not only on the tracks, but also in terms of what there is to hear, see and experience in the numerous picture worlds in the tunnels. This is because the ‘Graz Fairytale Railway’, as it has been called since then, was also rethought and completely redesigned with the necessary general refurbishment (2012-2014). Since then, the 10 or so stations have done away with specific figures and fairy tales, instead giving more space to the imagination and the joy of listening to and telling stories.
During the 25-minute journey ‘IN THE MOUNTAIN OF STORIES’ full of wonderful fairytale worlds and enchanting sounds with a trusted storyteller in your ear, beautiful imagery in your eyes and torches on board, you can ask yourself the following willewallewonderful questions: Where are all the stories when they are not being told? Are the clocks really different in fairy tales? Where do you go from platform 9 3/4? How do you wake a giant? How do you open a treasure cave? How do you make magic lamps talk, stones glow and a hedge of thorns bloom? Can you be under water and dry at the same time? What do robbers dream of? And: Which of your stories are just waiting to be told? So: please get in! The next journey to ‘Once upon a time’ starts in 10, 9, 8, 7, …
