Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Pfarrkirchen im Mühlkreis do Schärding

Set out from the charming hilltop village of Pfarrkirchen im Mühlkreis, known for its sweeping views over the Danube valley and gentle rural vibe. This 67 km ride is a real treat for anyone who likes a bit of up-and-down—expect nearly 900 meters of climbing, but even more descent as you make your way westward towards the beautiful Baroque town of Schärding on the Inn river.

Much of your route sticks to quiet country roads, winding through fields, forest patches, and little Upper Austrian villages. About half the ride is smooth asphalt, but be ready for some well-worn gravel sections too—a classic mix for adventuring in this region. There’s plenty of time to enjoy the landscapes (and maybe a bakery stop!) before you roll into the pastel-colored streets of Schärding, famous for its vibrant main square and riverside promenades.

All in all, it’s a ride packed with rural charm, rolling hills, and a rewarding finish in one of Austria’s prettiest small towns. Don’t forget to check out the local cafes when you get to Schärding—you’ve earned it!
