ÖBB Presents Station Featuring First Info Park

ÖBB will unveil its first info park at the station, covering 1,800 m². It includes exhibition pavilions, a full-scale tunnel segment, a tunneling shield, and a visual journey through the Koralmbahn construction phases.

The information center offers residents and visitors a unique opportunity to explore the development of the high-speed rail line and its engineering scope.

ÖBB Completes Koralmbahn Project Ahead of Service Launch

The Koralmbahn line includes 130 km of new rail infrastructure, 50 km of tunnels, and over 100 bridges. The 33-kilometer Koralm Tunnel serves as the project’s centerpiece.

In total, 23 modern stations and stops were constructed, with Weststeiermark marking the final milestone.

Before regular service begins on December 14, 2025, ÖBB will carry out a comprehensive test program with 15,000 km of trial runs.

As a result, travel time between Klagenfurt and Graz will be just 45 minutes, significantly improving mobility across southern Austria.
