Cycling day trip from Gerasdorf bei Wien to Schwechat

Get ready for a scenic ride from Gerasdorf bei Wien down to Schwechat! Starting just north of Vienna, Gerasdorf is a charming town surrounded by flat countryside—perfect for cycling. You’ll roll out mostly on smooth asphalt and dedicated cycleways, so it’s a comfortable spin for most of the 24 km. You’ll skirt Vienna’s edges, picking up views of rural fields as the city slowly gives way to suburban stretches and industrial glimpses near Schwechat, the gateway to Vienna’s airport.

The ride is pretty gentle with just a handful of short climbs, nothing too daunting—only about 86 meters total ascent. Route-wise, it’s stress-free: most of your time is on quiet roads and bike paths, and you’ll avoid any major traffic. Schwechat itself has a long brewing history and sits right along the Schwechat River, so it’s a nice spot to finish with a riverside break.

This route’s great if you want a relaxed ride with some open-air country vibes and a touch of urban scenery near Vienna. Don’t forget your camera, and, if you’re thirsty, maybe end with a schnitzel and a local Schwechater beer!
