There are also special themed events such as a wine tasting in Burgenland, travelling up by train for a hiking holiday in simmering.

Since the start of the year the new general manager has been Elisabeth Steinleitner who took over at the helm of the 20-year-old company.

The new trips offered this year include in the footsteps of the Emperor that among other destinations travels to Bad Ischl or Gödöllö in Hungary.

The company said what all the trips have in common is the atmosphere on the trains.
