Cycling day trip from Vienna to Wolkersdorf im Weinviertel

This scenic ride takes you from the heart of Vienna, Austria’s vibrant capital, out into the relaxed countryside charm of Wolkersdorf im Weinviertel. Starting in Vienna, you’ll pedal past grand imperial streets before quickly slipping onto quieter cycleways that meander northward.

Most of the route is wonderfully smooth, with over 90% paved roads—perfect for road bikes or a comfy hybrid. You’ll follow purpose-built cycleways for much of the trip, making it a stress-free ride even if city traffic isn’t your thing. There’s just enough gentle climbing to keep things interesting, but nothing too tough.

As you reach Wolkersdorf, you’re officially in the Weinviertel (“Wine Quarter”), an area famed for its rolling hills and charming vineyards. Why not celebrate your arrival with a glass of the local Grüner Veltliner or explore Wolkersdorf’s cute old town, before doubling back to Vienna or catching a train home? All in all, a laid-back ride with a classic Austrian mix of culture and countryside!
