Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Gerasdorf bei Wien à Bratislava

This ride takes you from Gerasdorf bei Wien, a peaceful town just north of Vienna, all the way to the vibrant city of Bratislava. Covering almost 79 km, this is a fantastic day trip for anyone eager to explore two countries on two wheels! You’ll start in the flat and scenic landscapes around Gerasdorf, riding mostly on smooth asphalt and purpose-built cycleways, making for a stress-free journey — over half your route is on dedicated cycle paths.

Along the way, you’ll follow stretches of quiet roads and tracks, occasionally passing through lovely rural pockets where you can catch sight of local life and maybe even spot some wildlife. The total ascent is gentle, just under 300 meters, so it shouldn’t pose much of a challenge for most reasonably fit riders.

As you approach Bratislava, you’ll notice the landscape shift — soon enough, the historic skyline invites you in. Bratislava’s old town is famous for its quirky statues, castle, and lively cafés. Don’t forget your passport, and make sure to stop for a celebratory slice of cake by the Danube!
