Excursión ciclista de un día de Viena a Mauerbach

Looking for a scenic ride out of Vienna? This route takes you from the heart of Austria’s vibrant capital right to Mauerbach, a peaceful little town on the edge of Vienna Woods. You’ll cover about 29 km—mostly on smooth, paved cycleways and quiet roads—making it great for both city bikes and road bikes.

The ride starts amid Vienna’s stylish boulevards and urban vibes. Once you leave the city bustle, you’ll soon be weaving through leafy suburbs and lovely green stretches. There’s a mild climb (about 367 meters up in total), so expect a few gentle challenges as you pedal towards the hills.

As you near Mauerbach, the scenery gets even greener, with forested views and a nice sense of escape from the city. Mauerbach itself is famous for its old Carthusian monastery—worth a quick look if you have time.

Perfect for a half-day cycling adventure, this route offers just enough elevation for a workout, plenty of nature, and a rewarding city-to-village transition. Don’t forget to grab a coffee (or cake) at one of Mauerbach’s cozy cafés before heading back!
