Cycling day trip from Bad Kreuzen to Weinzierl bei Krems

Get ready for a scenic ride through Upper and Lower Austria! Starting in Bad Kreuzen, famous for its medieval castle and idyllic spa, you'll cruise almost 100 kilometers east towards Weinzierl bei Krems, a picturesque little spot just outside the historic city of Krems on the Danube.

The majority of your journey follows quiet roads and tracks—perfect for soaking in rolling hills, green fields, and charming villages along the way. There’s a fair bit of climbing (just over 1200 meters!), but every ascent promises wide views and exhilarating descents. Most of the surface is paved or asphalt, so you won’t have to worry about tricky off-road conditions.

You’ll end your route in Weinzierl bei Krems, a lovely wine-growing area with vineyard-dotted hills and easy access to Krems—one of Austria’s prettiest small cities, famous for its old town and the Wachau wine region. Make sure to stop for a glass of local Grüner Veltliner before you finish!
