Cycling day trip from Neusiedl am See to Podersdorf am See

This leisurely 20 km ride takes you from Neusiedl am See, a vibrant lakeside town known for its cozy cafés and excellent windsurfing spots, down to the relaxed holiday haven of Podersdorf am See. Your route hugs the eastern shore of Lake Neusiedl almost entirely on peaceful, low-traffic roads and smooth asphalt tracks—perfect for soaking in the expansive steppe landscape and reed beds typical of Austria’s only steppe lake.

You’ll cruise through open countryside with hardly any hills, making those tiny bits of ascent and descent barely noticeable. Expect mostly asphalt under your tires, and if you’re lucky, you might spot some of the area’s famous birdlife as you pedal. Once you reach Podersdorf, reward yourself with an ice cream on the lakeside promenade or a quick dip in the lake—this is the only town on the lake with a sandy beach! All in all, it’s an easy-going ride linking two postcard-perfect destinations on the edge of Austria’s sunniest lake.
