Cycling day trip from Krems to Tulln

Get ready for a scenic ride from Krems to Tulln! This relaxed 47 km journey mostly hugs the mighty Danube, so you can expect long stretches of paved surfaces (almost 97%) and an easy, mostly flat profile—perfect for a leisurely day out.

You’ll start from Krems an der Donau, a charming university town famous for its historic old quarter and excellent white wines. Don’t miss the chance to grab a quick look at the medieval gate, Steiner Tor, before you roll out.

Most of the way you’ll be spinning along tracks and quiet rural roads, with just the occasional short bit of gravel or concrete. The scenery is pure Wachau: river vistas, vineyards, and rolling hills. You’ll barely notice the ascent—just under 80 meters total—so it’s a great route for all levels.

Finish up in Tulln, a lively small city famed as the “City of Flowers” and right on the riverbank, ideal for a celebratory ice cream. All in all, this is a beautiful, easy cruise perfect for exploring Lower Austria.
