In bici da Mörbisch am See a Rust

A short, scenic hop along Lake Neusiedl from Mörbisch am See to Rust. Roll out from Mörbisch’s lakeside promenade and follow the shore past reed beds and vineyards. The riding is easy-going with just a gentle rise (about 27 m total) and roughly 6.4 km in distance. It’s mostly smooth asphalt with a brief unpaved stretch, and the route sticks to car-free tracks and quiet access roads—no busy traffic.

Keep an eye out for herons and other birdlife in this UNESCO-listed cultural landscape (Fertő/Neusiedlersee). Mörbisch is known for its open-air operetta festival right on the lake, and there’s also a seasonal ferry to Illmitz if you fancy extending the day.

Glide into Rust’s charming old town of pastel façades and cobbles; in summer, storks nest on the chimneys. Celebrate with a coffee on the Hauptplatz or sample local wine—Rust is famed for its Ruster Ausbruch dessert wines. An easy, pretty spin with big views and village charm at both ends.
