From here, you'll embark on a scenic ride through Austria's landscape, which includes a mix of quiet roads and tracks, adding a touch of tranquility to your ride.

The route covers just over 105 km, with the ascent mostly front-loaded—it’s a bit of a climb at the start, maxing out at around 1016 meters in elevation, but it’s mostly downhill from there, with nearly 1900 meters of descent.

As you roll into Traismauer, you'll be welcomed by picturesque views of the Lower Austrian countryside. Nestled alongside the Danube, this quaint town boasts a rich Roman history and is a perfect spot to unwind after a long ride.

Pack some snacks, keep your water bottle handy, and get ready to enjoy the unique charm each kilometer offers—from mountains to rivers, and everything in between. Happy cycling!
