Gita in bici di un giorno da Linz a Enns

Set off from the lively city of Linz, nestled on the banks of the Danube! This relaxed cycling route to Enns, which claims the title of Austria’s oldest town, covers around 25 km—a perfect half-day ride. Most of the journey is along smooth cycleways and quiet roads, so you can pedal at ease while soaking up lovely river and countryside views. You’ll glide past sprawling meadows and charming hamlets, and with barely 50 meters of ascent overall, it’s mostly flat, making it beginner-friendly.

Enns is a gem at your journey’s end: look out for the iconic town tower and the remnants of Roman Lauriacum—testament to Enns’s fascinating history. Grab a coffee in the cozy main square, or take a stroll through the old town before heading back. This route is a favorite among local cyclists for its pleasant terrain, scenic surroundings, and the unique chance to connect two storied Austrian towns in a single easy ride.
