The Lavanttalbahn is far more than just a connection between two regions - it stands for progress, change and the fascination of railroads. The history of the Lavantalbahn is presented in pictures and text on 34 display boards. The exhibition is open during opening hours Thursday to Sunday from 9-16:30 hrs.
