description The construction of railways made the mountains accessible to urban society in the age of industrialisation. The construction of the world’s first high mountain railway, the Semmering Railway, was followed by the development of Alpine summer resorts for tourists, very close to Vienna. Texts of the two Austrian writers Peter Rosegger (1843–1918) and Heimito von Doderer (1896–1966) offer the op- portunity to approach the people and their relationship to the mountains and the Semmering Railway. The analysis explores the questions: How did Rosegger experience the development of the mountains by the railway? How do Rosegger and Doderer’s travellers on the train experience the mountains? How do Rosegger and Doderer describe the people who came to Semmering because of the railway? Rosegger impressively describes his first journey on the Semmering Railway, which opened the door to the world for him. He highlights the importance of observing nature from the train. He is critical of the development of the tourist settlements on the Semmering. In the texts by Rosegger and Doderer, the travellers on the train provide different insights into the fascination that emanates from the mountains. The urban society that arrived at the Semmering with the railway felt itself to have come closer to the mountains; the locals probably always perceived them as urban people.
