Excursión ciclista de un día de Bad Kreuzen a Krems an der Donau

This scenic cycling route takes you from the peaceful spa town of Bad Kreuzen all the way to the beautiful city of Krems. Bad Kreuzen is known for its historic castle and health resorts, making it a nice place to start your journey. The ride stretches roughly 100 km, so it’s a solid day trip for those who enjoy longer distances and rolling hills.

You’ll tackle around 1,200 meters of climbing—with a max elevation near 595 meters—so be ready for some effort, especially at the start. Most of your ride will be on paved and quiet roads, giving you lots of chances to soak up classic Austrian countryside vibes. There are a few stretches on tracks and paths, perfect for a little adventure, but the route avoids anything too rough or busy.

As you near Krems, you’ll transition from hilly landscapes into the scenic Wachau region, famous for its vineyards and charming old town (a UNESCO World Heritage site). Krems itself is full of culture and makes the perfect spot to unwind after your ride—definitely worth exploring with a post-ride coffee or local wine!
