Cycling day trip from Vienna to Laa an der Thaya

This scenic route takes you from the lively heart of Vienna all the way north to the charming border town of Laa an der Thaya. You’ll roll out of Vienna’s historic streets and quickly find yourself on quiet roads and purpose-built cycleways—perfect for settling into the ride. About 80% of the path is paved, so you can expect a mostly smooth journey with some variety here and there.

You’ll pass through peaceful countryside, small Austrian villages, and gentle rolling hills (with just over 550 meters of ascent). The route avoids busy roads for the most part, letting you soak in the scenery and fresh air.

When you reach Laa an der Thaya, treat yourself to some well-deserved relaxation—this town is famous for its thermal spa, and its setting on the edge of the Weinviertel wine region gives it a laid-back vibe. Whether you’re up for a glass of local wine or a soak in the spa, it’s a perfect trip from urban hustle to rural calm!
