Cycling day trip from Vienna to Leobendorf

This is a lovely ride from Vienna to Leobendorf, perfect if you’re in the mood for a scenic escape from the city. Starting in Vienna’s vibrant heart, you’ll roll out north, soon swapping urban streets for quieter cycleways and calm rural roads. Expect mostly smooth asphalt under your tires—around 93%—with just a hint of paving stones to keep things interesting.

The route is around 25.5 km, with a mellow ascent of about 158 meters, so it’s gently undulating rather than hilly. You’ll pass through peaceful countryside and may catch glimpses of vineyards, fields, and the distant hills so typical of Lower Austria.

Your destination, Leobendorf, is a charming market town best known for the majestic Kreuzenstein Castle, perched above the village—well worth a visit if you have time! All in all, it’s a relaxing half-day ride with plenty of fresh air and a delicious taste of Austrian landscapes. Perfect for a weekend adventure out of Vienna!
