Cycling day trip from Podersdorf am See to Rust

This ride takes you from the breezy shores of Podersdorf am See, famous for its iconic lighthouse and windsurfing scene, to the charming wine town of Rust, a UNESCO World Heritage site with picturesque old town vibes and cheeky resident storks.

The route is mostly flat, with gentle ascents and descents; nothing too dramatic to worry about. You’ll pedal through nearly 74 kilometers of the stunning Burgenland landscape, with about 90% of the route on smooth pavement and dedicated cycleways making up nearly half of the journey. Expect long stretches along fields, vineyards, and right on the edge of Lake Neusiedl, so keep your camera ready!

You get to cruise through quiet roads and rustic tracks. Don’t forget to stop for a lakeside picnic or sample some local wine near Rust, which is famous for its sweet “Ruster Ausbruch.” The ride offers a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure, with beautiful scenery to keep you motivated all the way!
