Erlaufsee
The Erlaufsee (formerly also Erlafsee) is a mountain lake at the foot of the Gemeindealpe not far from the town of Mitterbach am Erlaufsee. The border between Lower Austria and Styria runs through the lake. It is located on the Zellerrain road from Mariazell to Lunz am See. In the summer months, the lake can be reached from Mariazell on the Mariazell-Erlaufsee museum tram, which is operated with historic steam tram sets. It has a natural bathing beach on the south bank (gravel). The Erlauf flows through the lake. The lake's large fish population includes perch, pike, char, rudd, brown trout and rainbow trout.
On the shore there is a restaurant, a snack bar, a campsite, a boat rental and a diving school. Tours on excursion boats are also offered on the lake. The Erlaufsee should not be confused with the Erlauf reservoir, which is about 4.5 km away and downstream of the Erlauf.

Museum Tramway Mariazell–Erlaufsee

Highlight • Structure

Museum tramway Mariazell - Erlaufsee
The route between Mariazell and Erlaufsee is not an abandoned railway line that has been reactivated for museum operations. It was completely rebuilt between 1976 and 2015 and even the tracks were built by the activists of the museum tramway as a voluntary effort. The building elements used are intended to reflect the history of the technology of Austrian street and local railway companies. In recognition of these achievements, the Austrian Railway Culture Prize was awarded in 2018 by the ÖMT Association of Austrian Museum and Tourist Railways.

Hubertussee

Highlight • Lake

The Hubertussee is definitely worth a rest, if not a long walk around the lake. Across the lake you have a wonderful view of the mountain panorama from everywhere. There is also a lot to discover on its banks: including the Hubertus Chapel, which picturesquely watches over the lake on the mountainside, the spring of the same name and the impressive dam.

Mariazell–St. Pölten Scenic Route

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The section along the Walster River is one of the most scenic parts of the Traisental Cycle Path (R13). It leads through the mountainous landscape of the Lower Austrian Prealps and, in its upper reaches, follows the Walster, a clear mountain stream that flows into the Traisen River near Annaberg.

From Mariazell, the route initially descends gently through the idyllic Walster Valley, past dense forests, lush meadows, and quiet hamlets. The section along Lake Hubertus near Wienerbruck is particularly charming and offers a perfect spot for a short break. The path then continues along the Walster towards Annaberg, where the river joins the young Traisen. From here, the route leads through the narrow, wooded Traisen Valley down into the gentle Alpine foothills and finally to the state capital, St. Pölten.

The route is well signposted and largely follows quiet side roads and cycle paths. It offers a diverse combination of alpine scenery, clear waters and cultural impressions – an ideal tour for experienced cyclists and nature lovers who want to enjoy the tranquil Walstertal valley.
