Quick ride by bicycle from Linz to Ansfelden

This relaxed bike route takes you from the heart of Linz—Upper Austria’s lively capital—down south to Ansfelden, spanning about 15 kilometers with only gentle climbs (about 40 meters up). Most of the ride is smooth sailing: over 90% is nicely paved, and you’ll mainly roll along dedicated paths and easygoing cycleways, away from busy traffic.

Leaving Linz, you’ll pass through a blend of modern cityscape and leafy green patches before gradually drifting into quieter outskirts—perfect for a quick escape from the city’s buzz. As you coast toward Ansfelden, enjoy the small-town charm and perhaps think of Anton Bruckner, the famed symphonist born here.

With just a handful of cobblestone or less-than-perfect patches, and almost the entire ride away from main roads, this is a great cruise for beginners or anyone craving a safe, casual outing. Pack a snack, take it easy, and enjoy the transition from city vibes to countryside calm!
