Excursión ciclista de un día de Viena a Rust

This scenic cycling route takes you from Vienna, Austria’s vibrant capital, down to the picturesque town of Rust next to Lake Neusiedl. You’ll cover just over 100 km, making this a solid full-day adventure for any bike enthusiast.

Starting off in Vienna, you get the bonus of rolling out from a city rich in history, culture, and imperial architecture—maybe grab a coffee before you go! The path is mostly paved and sticks to quiet roads and purpose-built cycleways, so you can enjoy a relaxed ride out of the city and into the countryside. Expect a few gentle climbs (approximately 450 meters of ascent) and even more descent as you head southeast. You’ll cruise through scenic vineyards and charming villages, and might spot some storks as you get closer to Rust.

Your destination, Rust, is a lovely old wine town famous for its lakeside setting and tasty local wines—perfect for a well-earned glass at the end of your ride! The landscape flattens out as you approach Lake Neusiedl, so you can roll into town and soak up that Burgenland sunshine before heading home.
