Bikepacking from Brno to Vienna

Ready to stretch your legs? This cross-border ride takes you from historic Brno, the Czech Republic’s vibrant second city, all the way to elegant Vienna. You’ll roll through pretty South Moravian countryside and across the border into Austria, covering a solid 163 km—plan for a full day or, even better, make it a two-day adventure.

Most of the route follows paved surfaces, so you’re in for a mostly smooth ride, and you’ll get a mix of cycleways, quiet country roads, and scenic tracks. Although the route isn’t flat, the climbs are gentle and spread out—you’ll gain about 790 meters in altitude, but with even more downhill than up.

Brno, your starting point, is well-known for its buzzing café culture and modernist architecture. After spinning south all day, you’ll finish in Vienna, a city famous for imperial palaces and delicious coffeehouses. If you want to break up the ride, there are plenty of charming Czech and Austrian villages along the way for a strudel or two. Don’t forget your passport and enjoy the ride!
