The Semmeringbahn was build in 1854 by Carl Freiherr Ritter von Ghega. In this time the technical challenge to build a railway over the Semmering mountain was very hard. Because of this reason the whole railway was elevated to a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1998.

But not only the technical challenge is
interesting. Also going by train on this railway is a architectural, cultural
and natural experience. If you like more Infomrations, please click

The coordinates are the waypoint in front of the
highest Railwaystation of the Semmeringbahn in Semmering.
Look at the railway Station for
this Monument
and upload a foto of you in
front of it with your log.
I recommend also to walk the
"Bahnwanderweg", a hiking route along the railway witch starts at this monument
(Signs will show you the way)
Happy waymarking
