A Timeless Advent Classic – Steam Train Journey to Salzburg’s Christmas Markets
Step aboard our festive steam train and experience one of the most beloved Advent traditions in Southern Germany. Departing from Nördlingen, the train travels via Donauwörth, Augsburg Central Station, Munich East, and Rosenheim, before continuing through the Alpine foothills towards Salzburg, home to some of the most enchanting Christmas markets in Europe.
Let the power of the historic steam locomotive, the cozy atmosphere of the carriages, and the magical winter scenery transform your journey into an unforgettable holiday experience.
For those seeking an alternative excursion, a visit to the fascinating Lokwelt Railway Museum in Freilassing is also possible (admission not included).
The steam train terminates in Freilassing, where you will have direct connection to an exclusive shuttle train reserved just for our guests, taking you onward to Salzburg and back.
