Cycling day trip from Linz to Ennsdorf

This mellow ride takes you from the vibrant city of Linz—famous for its modern art scene and lovely stretches along the Danube—downriver to Ennsdorf, a peaceful village near Austria’s oldest town, Enns. The route covers about 28.5 kilometers, with barely-there climbs (just 52 meters up, 75 meters down), making it perfect if you want a relaxed pedal rather than a thigh-burning challenge.

You’ll spend most of the time gliding along smooth, dedicated cycleways—safe, scenic, and pretty stress-free. Look out for riverside views and patches of countryside as you ride through mostly paved and asphalt surfaces. Only a tiny bit has paving stones, and the missing surface info just adds a touch of mystery.

At your destination, Ennsdorf sits at the meeting point of the Enns and Danube rivers, ideal for a riverside picnic or a quick detour to historic Enns. All in all, this is a great outing for a chill afternoon on two wheels!
