Excursión ciclista de un día de Perchtoldsdorf a Schwechat

Here’s a lovely route from Perchtoldsdorf to Schwechat that’s perfect if you want a relaxed ride through southern Vienna’s suburbs and some scenic stretches. You’ll start in Perchtoldsdorf, a historic wine town just south of Vienna, known for its charming main square and watchtower. The path runs mostly along paved surfaces (over 90% paved, with 84% asphalt), so your tires will be happy!

You’ll cover a little over 26 km with gentle rolling terrain—just enough ascent and descent (about 120 m up, nearly 220 m down) to keep things interesting without being too tough. Most of the ride follows dedicated cycleways or quiet roads, making it feel comfortable and safe. There are a few short gravel and unpaved sections, so if you ride a road bike, just take those easy.

You’ll end in Schwechat, famous for its river and Austria’s busiest airport. The town also has a brewery with a long history, so you’ve earned yourself a cold drink! Overall, it’s a scenic, accessible ride that links two interesting spots on the edge of Vienna.
