Von Wien über Orth nach Haslau an der Donau

The cycling tour begins in Vienna along the Danube riverbank up to the OMV, where it crosses the terrain. The path then follows the Hubertus dam through the floodplain area of the Donau-Auen National Park. In spring, numerous plant species bloom on the dam. At Schönau, the bike path makes a turn over the Schönauer Traverse. The narrow Schönau floodplain forest strip is one of the most dynamic areas of the national park. From the outer Schönauer Traverse, there are impressive views of the Kühwörth water with its large reed beds.

The route continues on the Hubertus dam until the path turns left towards Orth Castle. Here is the schlossORTH National Park Center with exhibitions, as well as the poplar experience area on Castle Island. Afterwards, the path follows the riverside road down to the Danube bank. At the Danube, the Orther Islands offer inviting swimming areas, located a few hundred meters downstream from the popular Orther riverside house (accessible on foot, no bike path). The ferry can reach the opposite bank and Haslau. The path runs to the station in Haslau, from where the S7 line provides the return to Vienna.
