Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Purkersdorf à Perchtoldsdorf

This ride takes you from Purkersdorf, a charming town at Vienna’s doorstep, through the scenic hills southwest of the city, finishing in the historic market town of Perchtoldsdorf. The route is about 24 km and is mostly paved, with some sections on smooth asphalt and the occasional patch of gravel.

You start off in Purkersdorf, known for its lush forests and as a gateway to the Wienerwald (Vienna Woods). The route offers a good mix of dedicated cycleways (about 40%), and quiet roads, letting you enjoy the Austrian countryside without too much car traffic. Expect a bit of climbing—there’s a steady ascent of just over 200 meters, but it’s nothing too intense and rewards you with scenic views.

As you roll into Perchtoldsdorf, you’ll notice its medieval charm, famous wine taverns (Heuriger), and the striking church tower at the center of town. It’s a lovely spot to unwind after your ride. All in all, this is an ideal route for a relaxed day trip with a touch of local flair and nature!
