Cycling day trip from Graz to Wildon

Looking for a scenic ride out of Graz? This lovely 30 km route takes you south from the vibrant city of Graz—a university hub known for its Renaissance courtyards and charming old town—all the way to Wildon, a peaceful town nestled by the river Mur.

You’ll mostly be rolling along cycleways (about 44% of the trip!), so it’s perfect for those who want to avoid busy roads. The path is mainly asphalt or paved, so your wheels and your bum will thank you. The ride is predominantly gentle, with just under 90 meters of ascent and a pleasant 130 meters of descent, making it a great option for all levels.

As you approach Wildon, take a moment to enjoy the slower pace and perhaps grab a snack by the beautiful lakeside park. Fun fact—Wildon is known for its medieval castle ruins perched above the town!

Bring your camera, enjoy the relaxed vibe, and savor the mix of Austrian countryside and riverside cycling that this route delivers.
