Train between Hungary and Austria
The aim is to enable more people to visit the Hungarian and Austrian side of the Fertő Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in an environmentally friendly way, GYSEV Plc, the operator of the train service, told the Hungarian News Agency (MTI) on Saturday.
According to the announcement, the services will run on Saturdays and Sundays, until 25 August. The first train departed from Sopron to Austria today on Saturday.
The railway company has set up the timetable in such a way as to ensure optimal connections to the Fertő-táj trains for tourists arriving from Győr (Budapest) and Szombathely (Szentgotthárd), too, the statement said.
The services can be used by purchasing a Fertő Valley Discovery ticket (Fertő-táj felfedező jegy), which also provides free bicycle transport, they added.
