[edit]Bezirk Güssing is the only Bezirk in all of Austria without a single active rail connection. Because of this, you will arrive by car most likely. However, there are frequent buses running from Vienna thru Dr. Richard.
Traveling to the south (Jennersdorf) or into Hungary is difficult and or impossible by public transportation.
