Cycling day trip from Mariazell to Sankt Pölten

Kick off your cycling adventure in the charming town of Mariazell, a quaint place famous for its basilica, which is a can't-miss spot before you pedal away. Your journey to Sankt Pölten, the vibrant capital of Lower Austria, is approximately 84 kilometers of varied and picturesque terrain.

Start out enjoying the fresh mountain air, as you'll be ascending a total of 1214 meters. Don’t worry though, what goes up must come down, and you'll enjoy plenty of exhilarating descents totaling nearly 1797 meters. With a mix of quiet roads and dedicated cycleways making up over half of your journey, you’ll have lots of peaceful pedaling.

Remember, while most of your route is on asphalt, there’s about 41% of the way where the surface information is missing, so keep your eyes peeled and be ready for anything. Along the way, relish the transition from the serene alpine foothills to the bustling streets of Sankt Pölten, a city known for its cultural offerings and charming baroque architecture.

So, pack some snacks, grab your helmet, and enjoy a memorable ride through some of Austria’s most breathtaking scenery!
