Gita in bici di un giorno da Linz a Eidenberg

If you’re up for a climb and some beautiful Austrian countryside, this ride from Linz to Eidenberg is a fantastic choice! Your adventure kicks off in Linz, a vibrant city on the Danube known for its mix of modern culture and historic charm. As you leave the city behind, you’ll gradually head north into rural Upper Austria.

It’s about 24 km, but don’t be fooled by the distance—the route packs in a solid 660 m ascent, so get ready to spin those legs! Most of the way, you’ll enjoy quiet roads and some dedicated cycleways, making for a peaceful (and mostly traffic-free) ride. The surface is a mix, but nearly 40% is nice, smooth asphalt, which is great for rolling along.

As you climb, you’ll pass through lush fields and forests, with plenty of chances to pause and take in fantastic views—even more rewarding once you reach the max elevation near 685 meters. The endpoint in Eidenberg is a sleepy village nestled in the hills, perfect for unwinding after the effort. All in all, a short but punchy ride with a great blend of city and countryside!
