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

This scenic ride takes you from the lively city of Linz, right on the Danube, all the way to the picturesque village of Pfarrkirchen im Mühlkreis. Starting in Linz—with its vibrant old town, modern art museums, and delicious Linzer Torte—you’ll head northwest into the lush countryside.

Most of your 59 km journey is on smooth pavement or asphalt, weaving along quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, so you’ll get plenty of peace and great views. The route is a bit of a workout, with close to 1,000 meters of climbing, but the unfolding views of the rolling hills more than make up for it.

As you approach Pfarrkirchen, you’ll top out near 800 meters in elevation before descending into the charming market village, known for its hilltop church and panoramic Upper Austrian vistas. Whether you cap it off with a coffee at a local guesthouse or just savor the rural tranquility, this ride is a perfect mix of culture, challenge, and countryside air.
