The railway line called “Weissenbach-Hainfeld” was opened in 1877 and was part of the Lower Austrian Southwest Railways (NÖSWB). It was almost 25 km long and was a single-track line with 3 intermediate stations, Altenmarkt-Thenneberg, Kaumberg, and court mountain and also had other stops, Kaumberg Markt, Altenmarkt an der Triesting, Tasshof, and Eberbach-Hocheck. The railway line was closed in 2004 and the tracks have been dismantled since 2015. One of the railway heritage of this railway is the concrete bridge over Hainfelder Straße (B18) over the Triesting at kilometer 28. Another important heritage of this railway is the Altenmarkt-Thenneberg station, located at kilometer 26.4 which had three through tracks and a short dead end track to the west, whose switch can be seen in front of the station building. Along the route, the bridge over the Triesting at kilometer 19.8 is also relatively new and it’s an important part of the railway heritage. Additionally, the Alter Gerichtsberg Tunnel and the Gerstbach Brücke are other significant heritage of this railway that are still preserved today.

Level crossing between Hainfeld and court mountain stations (Strommer. 2011)
If the former railway line were to be converted into a greenway or cycle path, it could be used for a variety of sport and leisure activities. The relatively flat and smooth surface of the former railway line, along with its winding route through the mountainous region of the Triestingtal, would make it an ideal location for cycling. It could be used by both recreational and more serious cyclists for exercise, sightseeing, and commuting. The greenway or cycle path could also be used for hiking and walking. The winding route through the mountainous region of the Triestingtal would provide a scenic and relatively easy path for these activities. The route would provide a scenic and relatively easy walk through the mountainous region and could be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities. Also, it could be a great opportunity for nature watching, birdwatching, wildlife observation, horseback riding, providing an opportunity for equestrian enthusiasts to explore the area on horseback.

The train station in the Court of Appeal (Strommer. 2011)

If the former railway line from Weissenbach to Hainfeld via the court mountain were to be converted into a greenway or cycle path, it could be used by a variety of potential users such as recreational and serious cyclists, hikers and walkers, nature enthusiasts, equestrian enthusiasts, families, tourists, rollerblading, skateboarding, Scootering enthusiasts for leisure, exercise, transportation, nature watching, birdwatching, wildlife observation, and as a destination for tourists. The success and popularity of the greenway or cycle path will depend on a variety of factors including location, accessibility, safety, and maintenance.

There is a plan to transform an abandoned railway between Weißenbach an der Triesting and Hainfeld into a greenway or cyclepath. The route was acquired by the state of Lower Austria and then resold to Plattl GmbH, which was commissioned with the dismantling, recycling and special disposal of the tracks and railway sleepers. The municipality of Hainfeld leases the route for use as a cycle and leisure path on a long-term basis, and other municipalities have bought the route in their respective municipal area with the intention to build a cycle and leisure path as soon as possible. The project is a multi-million dollar project and there is no concrete schedule for the implementation yet. The cycle and leisure path can be used on foot, with a stroller or as a cross-country ski run in winter if there is enough snow.

Also, the same plan is mentioned in another news report: The abandoned railway line between Hainfeld and Weißenbach an der Triesting is being planned to be transformed into a cyclepath to alleviate the demanding section of the Triestingtal and Gölsentalradweg cycle paths via Ramsau with gradients of over 10% in some cases. The railway line was closed in 2004 for cost reasons, and now the state of Lower Austria owns the railway line. Construction work is expected to start in 2024, with the state of Lower Austria considering laying the cycle path instead of the tracks. Reports indicate that workers have been removing the tracks, indicating that there is an active plan to transform the abandoned railway into a greenway.(https://www.meinbezirk.at/triestingtal/c-lokales/die-triestingtalbahn-endstation-weissenbach-neuhaus_a1614923#gallery=null
