Durchs Waldviertel von Schwarzenau nach Krems

Challenging but very beautiful route from Schwarzenau, where the train from Vienna still runs, to Krems. Mostly it follows the Kamp-Thaya-March cycle path, from Krumau then along the federal road to Krems.

In total, about 1000 - 1600 meters of elevation gain must be overcome (the data varies quite a bit - see utrack analysis below), divided into many smaller or larger hills or little mountains typical for the Waldviertel. We needed 5.5 hours riding time for the route.

Here is the data analysis from utrack: Minimum elevation: 194 m above sea level Maximum elevation: 625 m above sea level Average elevation: 492.7 m above sea level Maximum difference: 431 m Total climbing: 1645 m Total descent: 1959 m Start elevation: 515 m above sea level End elevation: 201 m above sea level Final balance: -314 m

Highly recommended for ambitious riders.

The inn at the campground in Krumau is nice and inexpensive, with seating right by the water.
