Gita in bici di un giorno da Schärding a Pfarrkirchen im Mühlkreis

Set off from the charming baroque town of Schärding, famous for its colorful old town right on the banks of the Inn River. You'll ride eastwards through rolling Austrian countryside, passing through forested hills and open farmland. This route covers about 68 km with a fair bit of climbing (around 1,400 meters ascent!), so get ready for some fun hill work—your legs will thank you later.

Roughly half of your ride is on quiet, paved roads, with some nice long stretches of smooth asphalt. You’ll also get a mix of gravel and unpaved sections, so a sturdy bike is your friend here. The scenery alternates between quiet villages, sweeping vistas, and shaded woodland tracks. The route is pretty peaceful, with barely any busy roads, letting you enjoy the landscape at your own pace.

Your destination is Pfarrkirchen im Mühlkreis—a small town perched on a ridge, offering awesome panorama views over the Mühlviertel hills. It’s known for its beautiful church and lovely natural surroundings. Perfect spot to rest and soak up the countryside after an invigorating ride!
