By bicycle from Purkersdorf to Vienna

This ride takes you from Purkersdorf, a charming little town on the western edge of the Vienna Woods, straight into the heart of Vienna. It’s an easygoing route (about 18.7 km and mostly downhill!) that rolls past lush green spots and suburban streets before you hit the city buzz.

You’ll mostly be cruising on paved cycleways and quiet roads, so it’s friendly for all levels. There’s just a gentle climb out of Purkersdorf—no big deal—but mostly you’ll be descending into the city, with a few scenic patches where the Vienna Woods peek through.

Along the way, you’ll leave behind Purkersdorf’s relaxed vibe and woodland trails, and end up right in Vienna, Austria’s capital. Vienna is famous for its vibrant culture, coffee houses, and imperial history, so there’s plenty to explore once you roll in. Lock up your bike and treat yourself to a well-deserved slice of Sachertorte!
