Opening hours & admission fee
Opening hours & admission fee
On regular opening days, the vehicle collection in the locomotive shed and the company grounds can be visited as part of a approx. 1 to 1.5-hour guided tour (included in admission). During the guided tour, our staff will explain a lot of interesting facts about the museum as well as the exhibited vehicles and will be happy to answer your questions. In addition, the exhibitions (historic tickets, historic uniforms, track superstructure, etc.) are accessible. In the cafeteria we offer coffee/tea, cold drinks and snacks. The souvenir and book sales are also open.
Since the vehicles in operation are also maintained on the exhibition grounds and railway operations take place in some areas, escorts by our staff are absolutely necessary for safety reasons. All exhibition areas are accessible at ground level and we endeavour to provide access for people with limited mobility. In the outdoor area, unevenness and soiling of the walkways cannot be ruled out. We therefore recommend that you wear flat and sturdy shoes.
