EuroVelo 9 is part of the European network of long-distance cycling routes. It links the Baltic coast in Poland with the Adriatic Sea in Croatia, covering 1,930 km. It runs straight through the heart of Central and Eastern Europe: travelling right across Poland from Gdansk, then through the Czech Republic, Austria and Slovenia, all the way to Pula in Croatia. Here we introduce the completed section from Breclav in the Czech Republic to Maribor in Slovenia: a tour of pure indulgence through wine regions, and connecting thermal spas, through the city of Vienna and the state of Styria until finally reaching Maribor in Slovenia.

Forecast for Vienna

Tip 1: Cycle tour on Vienna's Danube Island

Vienna's Danube Island is the city's most popular recreational area, stretching over a total of 21 kilometres. Depending on individual preferences, the length of the cycle tour can be adapted to suit your mood. There are plenty of places to stop for a break along the way. In summer, there are also numerous bathing spots along the Danube Island where you can cool off.

The diversity of Vienna's Danube Island is also reflected in the numerous options for extending the cycle tours. For example, you can cycle northwards to Klosterneuburg or Tulln on the Danube cycle path. Alternatively, the route leads south to the Donauauen National Park or even as far as Bratislava. The good train connections allow you to return to the city quickly. A cycle tour on Vienna's Danube Island is therefore highly recommended if you are visiting Vienna.

Tip 2: Cycle tour through the Vienna Woods

A cycle tour in the Vienna Woods and on to Klosterneuburg is a highlight for sporty cyclists. Thanks to the skilful combination of climbs, this route offers many metres of elevation gain and is therefore a demanding challenge. The route leads along small roads through picturesque villages and presents impressive views of the Danube time and again.

A visit to Klosterneuburg is particularly recommended on this tour. The town not only impresses with its charming old town, but also with the imposing Klosterneuburg Abbey, which is one of the most important Baroque monasteries in Austria. The way back to the city is via the Danube Cycle Path, which continues to offer many opportunities to discover the Vienna Woods. This cycle tour thus combines sporting activity, cultural exploration and the beauty of nature.

Tip 3: Cycle tour in the Donauauen National Park

The cycle tour into the Lobau, the Viennese part of the Donauauen National Park, leads through a unique river landscape. Along the paths, you can observe a wide variety of birdlife and other animals. The Dechantlacke not only offers the opportunity to swim, but is also an ideal place for observing nature. The combination of nature experience and relaxation makes this tour an unforgettable experience. This cycle tour can also be extended or shortened almost at will.

Tip 4: The Weidlingau cycle path

The Weidlingau cycle path is not only a very beautiful cycle path, but also a real insider tip, as it is usually less frequented. On this idyllic path, you can roll along at a leisurely pace and enjoy marvellous views of the Vienna Woods all the way to the Schneeberg. There are also many places to stop for refreshments along the cycle path, inviting you to take a relaxing break.

An interesting option is to combine the Weidlingau cycle path with the Wiener Neustädter Kanal cycle path. This connection extends this cycle tour and offers additional scenic attractions. The combination of the two cycle paths thus enables a varied tour through the Vienna hinterland while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and the beauty of the surroundings.

Things to know about cycling in Vienna

  • Where can I hire a bike in Vienna? There are several bike hire shops in Vienna where you can rent a bike. For short tours through the city or on the Danube Island, you can also use the bikes from the Nextbike public bike hire points. These are quite inexpensive and offer good cycling comfort.
  • Is Vienna a good city for cycling? Vienna is now a good city for cycling. Of course, this does not apply to every corner of the city; sometimes cycle paths are missing and it is necessary to make your way through the traffic. However, there are many beautiful cycle paths, such as the Ring Cycle Path or along the Vienna River. So you can definitely go sightseeing by bike in Vienna.
  • Which cycle path is the most beautiful in Vienna? We have already recommended the Danube Island. The Vienna Prater is even more central. The Prater Hauptallee is probably the best way to quickly escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Whether on foot or by bike - you should definitely take a stroll around the Vienna Prater and enjoy the relaxed hustle and bustle.
