Cycling day trip from Vienna to Wördern

Set off from the vibrant heart of Vienna and glide north toward the charming town of Wördern, just over 27 kilometers away. You’ll set out on a mix of mostly paved, smooth cycleways and quiet roads, making this ride perfect if you want to cruise without worrying about rough surfaces. Don’t be surprised by a gentle ascent in the first half—Vienna’s “suburban hills” are mild and add a fun bit of challenge before you coast down toward lower elevations.

Along the way, enjoy sweeping views of the Danube and lush riverside greenery. The route keeps you close to nature but never too far from civilization, passing through small villages and wooded stretches. With Vienna’s stately buildings behind you and glimpses of local life along the Danube, you’ll finish in Wördern—a peaceful spot known for its relaxed vibe and proximity to the river.

This is a great option for anyone who loves a leisurely ride with a touch of adventure just outside the city. Don’t forget to reward yourself at a café or explore the riverside once you arrive.
