The Pöstlingberg is the city's local mountain and has delighted generations of children. With your guide the ride to the top becomes an adventure.
The journey itself is a highlight. The Pöstlingberg Railway is one of the steepest adhesion railways in the world and has been climbing the hill for more than 100 years. On the way your guide asks the children riddles about the route and the city below.
At the top the Grottenbahn awaits: a dragon train rides through a magical world of dwarfs, followed by a fairy-tale town with familiar characters. Your guide explains how this attraction came about and which stories hide in its scenes.
Finally you enjoy the view from the pilgrimage basilica over Linz and the Danube. The tour is designed for children from about 6. The tour is private and priced per group.
