How to get there? By airplane/train: |

Vienna and Salzburg are international flight
destinations. From both towns there are trains going
frequently to Klagenfurt (but there is also an
airport in Klagenfurt). Catch up your train in Vienna at the train
station Südbahnhof (close to the subway
station Südtirolerplatz, subway line U1),
in Salzburg at the Hauptbahnhof. The train
ride will take in both cases about 4 hours.
From the main train station take any bus line (which will be 40, 41 or 42) and change it at Heiligengeistplatz for line 80, or 81 to Viktring. Get off at Siebenbürgengasse. From there it is a short foot walk to Stift Viktring. Busses from the train station to Heiligengeistplatz are going at least every 20 minutes; the bus from Heiligengeistplatz to Viktring is going every 40 minutes on thursday (holyday in Austria!) (8:10 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.: 10 and 50 min. past the full even hours and 30 min. past the full odd hours, e.g. ... 10:10, 10:50, 11:30...), and on friday every 20 minutes during daytime (8:10 a.m. to 6:50 p.m.: 10, 30 und 50 min. past the full hour), and between 6:50 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.: like thursday. |
