Planning a trip to Forchtenstein

Getting There -- From Eisenstadt, take Route S-31 southwest to Mattersburg, and from there follow the signs along a very minor road southwest to Forchtenstein. Three buses per day (only one on Sun) run from Vienna to Forchtenstein. There are no direct trains; the nearest railway station is 10km (6 1/4 miles) away, in Mattersburg. From here, take a taxi or one of the three daily buses that go to Forchtenstein.

Visitor Information -- In lieu of a tourist office, the town council, in the mayor's office at Hauptstrasse 52 (tel. 02685/7744), provides information Monday to Friday 9am to noon and 1 to 6pm, Saturday and Sunday 9am to noon.
