Cycling day trip from Linz to Bad Kreuzen

Linz to Bad Kreuzen Cycling Route

Set off from lively Linz, Upper Austria’s artsy and energetic riverside city, and pedal your way through rolling countryside all the way to peaceful Bad Kreuzen—a spot famous for its health spa and a striking medieval castle perched above the Danube valley.

This ride is about 72 km, following mostly paved surfaces and friendly cycleways (over 60%!), so you can focus on soaking up the scenery. You’ll climb a bit (expect a total ascent around 650 meters), passing charming villages, lush farmland, and patches of forest. The going is generally relaxed, especially on the quieter country roads and dedicated bike paths.

Bad Kreuzen is a rewarding finish, with sweeping views and a chance to unwind after your journey. If you fancy, visit the castle or treat yourself to a wellness session at the local spa—perfect after time in the saddle.

All in all, it’s a scenic and mostly leisurely ride with just a few hills to keep things interesting. Don’t forget your camera!
