En bici de Pfaffstätten a Baden

A gentle spin from Pfaffstätten to Baden through the Thermenregion’s vineyard belt. It’s about 3.6 km, mostly smooth and paved, with just ~15 m of easy climbing. You’ll roll on a mix of cycleways and quiet back streets, with only a brief encounter with traffic. Near Baden’s center, expect a sprinkle of paving stones as the vibe turns historic.

Pfaffstätten is classic wine country—think cozy Heuriger and local grapes like Zierfandler and Rotgipfler. Baden at the finish is a stately spa town, famous for its sulfur springs and part of the UNESCO Great Spa Towns of Europe. Beethoven spent several summers here; Kurpark and the Römertherme make great post-ride stops.

Route tip: take it easy through the center and bring a lock for a coffee break. Want more? Continue along the Thermenradweg/EuroVelo 9, or hop the Badner Bahn if you’re heading back toward Vienna.
