Excursión ciclista de un día de Viena a Pressbaum

Looking for a relaxed yet scenic bike ride out of Vienna? This ~31 km route takes you from Vienna’s lively city center, past historic suburbs, and into the peaceful outskirts, finishing up in the charming town of Pressbaum. The ride is mostly on paved surfaces (so no need for a mountain bike), and about half is designated cycleways, making it a pleasant option even if you’re not a road warrior.

Leaving Vienna, you’ll gradually climb out of the city—expect some gentle uphill sections (with a total ascent of about 400 meters), but nothing too extreme. The journey winds through the Vienna Woods, offering fresh air, forest views, and a welcome break from the urban buzz. Once you reach Pressbaum, you’re perfectly positioned to explore more of Lower Austria’s nature or enjoy a well-earned coffee and pastry.

Fun fact: Vienna is known for its imperial history and vibrant culture, while Pressbaum is a hidden gem famous for its green hills and relaxed small-town vibe. This route is a great way to experience both worlds by bike!
