Excursión ciclista de un día de Linz a Strengberg

Ready for a scenic spin from lively Linz to tranquil Strengberg? This roughly 50 km ride (don’t worry, most of it rolls over paved and asphalt roads) starts in the vibrant city of Linz, perched on the Danube and known for its artsy vibe and steel industry roots. You’ll quickly leave the city bustle behind, cruising along cycleways and quiet roads as you head south.

Expect gentle climbs and descents—the route’s never too steep, though you’ll feel a little leg burn with about 320 meters of ascent. The scenery shifts from urban sights to patchwork farmlands, dotted with classic Austrian villages along the way. There are a few stretches where the road type is “missing” in the stats—likely farm lanes or less-mapped roads—adding a hint of adventure (nothing too wild; most surfaces are smooth).

When you reach Strengberg, you’ll find a relaxed market town set on a ridge above the Enns River valley. It’s a peaceful spot perfect for a café stop or a scenic photo before you head back or catch your breath. All in all, this ride offers a great blend of city start, country roads, and pretty destination!
