The invention relates to a method for mounting a rail monitoring element at a mounting point of a rail for rail traffic, in particular on a railway rail, wherein the rail monitoring element comprises a strain sensor element having a support, on which a strain gauge, in particular an optical fibre having a fibre Bragg grating, is fixed, comprising the following method steps: determining the temperature of the rail and/or the rail monitoring element at the mounting point, checking whether the determined temperature is within a predefined temperature interval, applying heat or cold to the rail and/or the rail monitoring element at the mounting point if the determined temperature is not within the predefined temperature interval, positioning and fixing the support of the rail monitoring element at the mounting point, wherein the fixing is carried out adhesively. The method according to the invention can firstly be carried out simply and, in addition, permits reliable and accurate monitoring of the rail by using a strain sensor element.
