Excursión ciclista de un día de Schärding a Kleinzell im Mühlkreis

This cycling route takes you from the charming baroque town of Schärding, right on the Austrian-German border and famous for its colorful riverside houses, through the beautiful rolling hills of Upper Austria to Kleinzell im Mühlkreis. Covering just over 100 km, this ride is a solid adventure with more than 2,100 meters of ascent—so you’ll definitely get your climbing legs in!

The route is mostly paved (about 73%) and sticks to quiet roads and scenic cycleways for a peaceful ride—perfect for soaking in the rural landscape and lush green scenery. Expect a mix of gentle hills, a few punchy climbs, and lots of postcard-worthy countryside along the way. There are some short stretches of gravel and unpaved paths, so a road bike with tough tires or a gravel bike is a good call.

At the end, you’ll roll into Kleinzell im Mühlkreis—a small but picturesque village set amidst forests, meadows, and fresh air. Enjoy a well-earned break and maybe some traditional Upper Austrian fare at the end of your ride!
