Reichenau an der Rax

Gemeinde Reichenau an der Rax has served as a summer retreat in Lower Austria since the late 19th century. The municipality lies beneath the Rax massif of the Northern Limestone Alps, while the Schwarza runs through its valley. Opened in 1926, the Rax cable car rises from Hirschwang to the plateau and was Austria’s first passenger cableway. Villas and former grand hotels still recall Reichenau’s era as a fashionable resort, linked closely with the nearby Semmering railway country.
