Location


The station is located in Spielfeld, on the right (south) bank of the Mur and is about 2.2 km from the national border and 4.5 km from the Slovenian border station of Šentilj. The town of Straß in Steiermark, which the station is partly named after, is located about two kilometres north of the station.

The station is located at line-km 257.9 of the Southern Railway (measured from Vienna) and at line-km 615 of the Spielfeld-Straß–Trieste railway (measured from Belgrade) and 263 above sea level. The station is also the starting point of the Radkersburg Railway, which runs to the east over the Mur Bridge to Bad Radkersburg.

All international trains stopped in Spielfeld-Straß for passport control and to change staff between 1918 and December 2007, when Slovenia joined the Schengen Agreement. Customs controls ended in May 2004.

In addition to the station building with a platform (platform 1), the station complex has two uncovered and comparatively narrow island platforms (2/3 and 4/5) with access via a pedestrian level-crossing that leads to a total of four passenger tracks. A fifth track serves as a freight track. The former customs building, which also housed the SŽ's premises, was demolished between 2012 and 2015. Another historical building at the northern end of platform 1 was restored as a replacement for SŽ staff.

There is a Park and ride facility at the station with parking spaces for 80 cars, 10 motorbikes and 50 bicycles.

In the station there is a ticket machine, a waiting room and public toilets. The station is only partially accessible for the handicapped.

The railway line has been single-track between Leibnitz and Maribor since reparations were paid to the Soviet Union at the end of the Second World War.
