Graz fairy tale train
Welcome in the Mountain of Stories
Many fairy tales can be discovered in the tunnels within the Schlossberg - castle hill in Graz. Just get onboard and ride along – on a half-hour trip away from real life into the kingdom of fairy tales and fantasy.
The 30-minute ride “IN THE MOUNTAIN OF STORIES” welcomes you full of wonderful fairytale worlds and enchanting sounds! With a trusted storyteller in your ear, beautiful imagery in your eyes and golden torches on board, maybe some of the following wondrous questions can be answered? Where are all the stories when they are not being told? Are the clocks really different in fairy tales? Where do you go from platform 9 3/4? How do you wake a giant? How do you open a treasure cave? How do you make magic lamps talk, stones glow and a hedge of thorns bloom? Can you be under water and dry at the same time? What do robbers dream of? And: Which of your stories are just waiting to be told?
Ideal for all young and old visitors to Graz from the age of four. Please note that during the ride parts of the tunnel are dark and some (even older) children could get scared. Please consider whether your child is old enough for a ride.

Good to know
The ride is recommended for children aged 4 and over. Please note: It is not possible to leave the train early. Please be aware that parts of the tunnel are in the dark during the journey and some children (including older ones) may find this frightening. Please use your own judgement to decide whether your child is old enough for the ride. Incidentally, the temperature inside the mountain is between 8 and 12°C all year round, so we recommend wearing suitable clothing.
The journey through the underground fairytale world lasts approximately 25 to 30 minutes. During the tour, visitors travel past numerous creatively designed scenes and interactive stations, becoming explorers.
The Graz Fairytale Railway runs through the interior of the Schlossberg, where temperatures remain between 8 and 12 degrees Celsius throughout the year. Even on hot summer days, the tunnels stay pleasantly cool. Visitors are therefore advised to bring a light jacket or sweater, as children in particular may find the temperature chilly during the approximately 30-minute ride.
The Graz Fairytale Railway is one of the most unique family attractions in Graz. Combining history, imagination, and interactive experiences inside the Schlossberg, it offers a memorable adventure for families, young explorers, and anyone looking for something different in Graz, a UNESCO World Heritage city and UNESCO City of Design.
A valid ticket is required to ride the Graz Fairytale Railway. Tickets are available for adults, children, and families. Current prices and online booking options can be found on the official website of the Graz Fairytale Railway.
