Sortie rapide à vélo de Purkersdorf à Pressbaum

Roll out from Purkersdorf and ease west into the Wienerwald. The route is an easy-to-moderate 10 km with a gentle 180 m of climbing, mostly on quiet roads and dedicated cycleways. You’ll shadow the Wien River for stretches, then meander through leafy neighborhoods and forest edges—smooth pavement almost all the way, with just a short sprinkle of gravel.

Tip: Start near Purkersdorf’s railway station; the town is known for the Purkersdorf Sanatorium, a Jugendstil gem by Josef Hoffmann. Follow signs toward Tullnerbach/Pressbaum, keeping an eye out for a brief busier section before it slips back to calm streets.

Rolling into Pressbaum, you’re right by the Wienerwaldsee reservoir—worth a quick detour or a lakeside break. Pressbaum is a classic Vienna Woods gateway, with cafés and easy S‑Bahn connections if you want to train it back.

Highlights:

• ~91% paved surfaces and plenty of quiet road/cycleway time
• Shady forest patches in summer, vivid colors in autumn
• Optional loop by Wienerwaldsee for extra views
