A special highlight in Murau is the Kaiserzug, a historic salon train that offers a nostalgic journey from Murau to Frojach every year in September. On September 21, 2025, at 14:15, another trip will take place, accompanied by the imperial highness, starting from the Murau train station. In the carriage hall of the railway museum in Frojach, Your Majesty will hold an audience where one can obtain an imperial autograph. There is a unique collection of narrow-gauge vehicles, including valuable one-offs from the Technical Museum in Vienna. Club 760, the friends of the Murtalbahn, have taken it upon themselves to preserve these special pieces of Austrian railway history. Visitors can expect "food and drink" in the buffet car. For train and nostalgia enthusiasts, the Kaiserzug is a must, as it enables a journey into the past and the beauty of the region in a special way.

Highlight:
Narrow-Gauge Railway Museum Frojach – Experience railway rarities up close!
Take advantage of the rare opportunity to visit the Narrow-Gauge Railway Museum Frojach – it only opens its doors as part of the Kaiserzug trip from Murau to Frojach-Katschtal! In the exhibition hall built in the late 1970s directly next to the station, you will find a fascinating collection of historical vehicles from the world of Austrian narrow-gauge railways. Impressive steam locomotives – including the powerful five-coupled Kh111 of the Murtalbahn and the elegant S11 of the legendary Salzkammergut local railway – can be admired and photographed up close.
Special highlights include the imperial salon car S152, historical mail cars from various railways, and lovingly restored exhibits from over 130 years of railway history. A diesel locomotive from the StLB pulls the vehicles out of the hall into the open air – for the best view and ideal photo opportunities.
