Overview

About this collection

Ride the Austria–Hungary stretch of EuroVelo 13, tracing the former Iron Curtain through open fields, forest edges, and quiet villages along the border. It’s mostly smooth and paved, with plenty of asphalt, plus short bits of gravel, paving stones, and the occasional cobbles or wooden bridges. Expect a mix of quiet country roads, farm tracks, dedicated cycleways, and a few busier road sections—lights and visibility help.

Elevation stays gentle overall, making it a relaxed tourer’s route. A trekking or gravel bike with comfy tires is ideal. Services appear regularly in towns, but carry water for the longer rural gaps.

Come for the borderland scenery and history, stay for the easy rolling and varied surfaces. If you like long, steady days with a real sense of place, this section delivers.
