The flattened perspective and isolated chill of Kosel’s winter revelry lends additional grandeur to the already resplendent S¸dbahn Hotel and its shimmering Semmering environs. This romantic pass, with its steep limestone cliffs, craggy rocks, broad ridges and wide valleys, gained significance through the centuries as a first-class place to spend the night, even though it remained a difficult destination to reach, due primarily to the gradients of the old pass road. However, the construction of the railroad created an explosive influx of Travel that changed the face of the region forever. The daring pioneer of all mountain railways, the Semmering Railway still enjoys the admiration of the world. With sixteen several-story viaducts, fifteen tunnels, one-hundred-forty-two vertical structures, one-hundred-twenty-nine bridges, artificial rock faces and supporting walls, it was amazingly built over a construction period of only six years. In 1882, the luxurious S¸dbahnhotel was built, and though it saw some rough transitions during the World Wars, the hotel reopened with all the amenities of its former magnificence in 1948.
