The station building in Oberndorf was built between 1831 and 1832. The station building at that time was 75.86 metres long. Oberndorf was a popular destination for excursions. From 1834, there was already a scheduled excursion service between Urfahr and Oberndorf during the warm season.In 1918, the former station building was bought by the Diakoniewerk and used as a hostel for girls and later as a housekeeping school and laundry. The Hotel Waldheimat was added to the historic building and opened in 1975. Today, the comfortable hotel with a family atmosphere offers 30 cosy rooms with TV and WLAN as well as various seminar rooms. Many guests visit the Hotel Waldheimat to enjoy a holiday in the beautiful Mühlviertel region with its hilly landscapes, castles and fortresses - Gallneukirchen is the starting point for a variety of excursions and hikes. The famous horse-drawn railway hiking trail leads right past the hotel. date: 2017-02-22 modified: 2026-03-18 --- # Pferdeeisenbahnstation - Hotel Waldheimat Pferdeeisenbahnstation - Hotel Waldheimat =========================================== Gallneukirchen, Oberösterreich, Österreich ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/260x195/216005/6A3D76888906D6CC716687C287891E2C30F909A51A76E309A3073DD1BD18008B/auschnitt-aus-gemaelde-im-heimathaus.jpg) ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/260x195/216006/CF57381D2013C76DFF9E19ACACF1EFA85176FE0EF36003115B7BC77596BBEB8F/stationsgebaeude.png) © Open copyright © Heimathaus Close copyright [ ![Detail from a painting in the Heimathaus](https://assets.tourdata.at/x550/216005/6A3D76888906D6CC716687C287891E2C30F909A51A76E309A3073DD1BD18008B/auschnitt-aus-gemaelde-im-heimathaus.jpg "© Heimathaus") ](https://assets.tourdata.at/1920x/216005/6A3D76888906D6CC716687C287891E2C30F909A51A76E309A3073DD1BD18008B/auschnitt-aus-gemaelde-im-heimathaus.jpg) © Open copyright © Heimathaus Close copyright [ ![Station building](https://assets.tourdata.at/x550/216006/CF57381D2013C76DFF9E19ACACF1EFA85176FE0EF36003115B7BC77596BBEB8F/stationsgebaeude.png "© Heimathaus") ](https://assets.tourdata.at/1920x/216006/CF57381D2013C76DFF9E19ACACF1EFA85176FE0EF36003115B7BC77596BBEB8F/stationsgebaeude.png) 1. 2.
