Von Wien nach Schloss Eckartsau und zurück

The cycling tour starts in Vienna along the Danube riverbank up to the OMV, where it crosses the site. The path then follows the Hubertus embankment through the floodplain area of the Donau-Auen National Park. In spring, numerous plant species bloom on the embankment. Near Schönau, the bike path makes a curve 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 Kühwörther Wasser with its large reed beds. The route continues on the Danube Cycle Path over the Hubertus embankment. A long straight stretch lined by large meadows and floodplain forest. At Eckartsau, the path then leads left uphill to the castle. There is a bicycle service station in the castle park, and the castle café with a shop invites visitors to linger. The extensive meadows around Eckartsau Castle are accessible to guests. You will also find a national park information point and an exhibition there. The return journey takes the same route.
