Cycling day trip from Weinzierl bei Krems to Vienna

This cycling route takes you from charming Weinzierl bei Krems to the heart of Vienna—a lovely ride of just over 80 kilometers. Starting in the picturesque surrounds of Lower Austria’s wine country, Weinzierl bei Krems is known for its vineyards and tranquil village feel, perfect for an easy send-off.

The route is mostly flat, with gentle ascents totaling about 259 meters and just a hint more descent, so expect a comfortable cruise rather than a tough climb. The surface is excellent for road bikes thanks to a whopping 97% paved and asphalt paths. Most of your journey (over half!) will be along quiet rural tracks, letting you soak in countryside scenery before gradually merging onto calm roads and cycleways as Vienna approaches.

Arrive in Vienna, Austria’s buzzing capital, where grand historic sights, vibrant street life, and perfect coffee await. This ride is a great way to combine the mellow pace of wine country with the urban energy of one of Europe’s great cities. Don’t forget to reward yourself with a slice of Sachertorte once you arrive!
