The beautiful Ybbstal cycle route is built close to the water and gives nothing but great pleasure to cyclists. Because hardly anything promises more relaxation than to follow the quiet sounds of the river. If you then take a break on a gravel bench and put your feet in the gentle current, you have finally left the hectic pace of everyday life behind you. You are welcome to spread out the picnic blanket and serve up bread and a glass of fresh cider

In the Weinviertel you cycle past the cultural metropolis of Mistelbach, through the romantic Kreuttal valley to Wolkersdorf, Bisamberg and finally to Vienna. In the Vienna Woods, the Thermen Cycle Path goes along the Vienna Woods’ chain of hills and the sun-kissed vineyards. An attractive place for pleasure cyclists: numerous Heurigen
while the children splash about on the bank. The heart of the route, which follows a former railway line, is the new 55 kilometre long section between Waidhofen an der Ybbs and Lake Lunz— a jewel for pleasure cyclists. Here you take a relaxed cycle towards your destination until the path reveals the deep Lunzer See lake, which invites you to relax, go boating and swim in the refreshingly cool water.

Triestingau cycle route The Triestingau cycle route runs wildly romantic from north to south through the Vienna Woods thermal spa region. Still largely undiscovered to date, it is an insider tip for cyclists and, from Lanzendorf south of Vienna, a dreamy alternative to the thermal spa cycle path. It runs for 32 kilometres to Schönau an der Triesting. Old spinning, weaving and felt factories form the picture. Pleasure cyclists appreciate the flat paths on which quiet meadows alternate with convivial Heurigen places.

The most charming connection between Traisental and Thermenradweg is undoubtedly the Triesting-Gölsental cycle path from Schönau to Traisen. When you travel along the Triesting and Gölsen rivers, you draw inspiration from nature accompanied by the sound of streams. The paths are venerable, as you cycle on a section of the old “Via Sacra” from Vienna to Mariazell. On this 60-kilometre-long cycle path, idyllic places invite you to picnic on the banks.

Piestingtal cycle route On a cycling tour through the Piestingtal you have similar goals as Ferdinand Raimund. Blooming gardens and magnificent villas inspired the dramatist to spend his summer retreat in the Piestingtal as early as the 19th century. On 38 kilometres along the rippling Piesting, the cycle path stimulates the imagination and runs from Sollenau railway station near Wiener Neustadt via Markt Piesting and Pernitz to Gutenstein. Framed by architecture worth seeing and wildly romantic river courses with enchanting wooden bridges, one could cycle endlessly. You should in any case stop and enjoy the view into the “paradise of views”.

The best tips for stops to enjoy Lower Austria’s inn culture
Along the three rivers Kamp, Thaya and March you travel through time. Past historic castles, proud palaces, timehonoured monasteries and museums. The 427-kilometre tour is easy to master in smaller stages. In the evergreen Waldviertel the tour starts sporty and then gradually moves on to the gently hilly Weinviertel. Around Retz you will pass by vineyards and romantic cellar lanes, like those in the Pulkautal or in Wildendürnbach. The route ends in the wild and gentle floodplain landscape in Marchegg, where a visit to a castle or a visit to the Lower Austrian regional exhibition crowns the bike tour.
