Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Linz à Perg

Set off from vibrant Linz, a cultural hotspot hugging the Danube, and cruise southeast toward the charming small town of Perg. This route spans almost 40 kilometers, making it a perfect half-day adventure for recreational cyclists. Most of your ride follows paved and asphalt surfaces, and with gentle hills (about 100 meters of climbing), it’s a very approachable outing.

You’ll pedal on dedicated cycleways for much of the journey, so you can relax and enjoy the scenic views of Upper Austria’s countryside, with intermittent stretches on quiet roads. Along the way, soak in glimpses of rural life, small villages, and expansive fields.

Your destination, Perg, is known for its pretty main square and a touch of local history—look out for the ancient Roman quarries and traditional Austrian architecture. Whether you’re after a leisurely ride, sightseeing, or a quiet place to grab a bite at the end, this route offers a great blend of cycling comfort and picturesque surroundings.
