    Monasteries Emperor Artists Route

    Triesting-Gölsental Cycle Path

    Attention: The cycle path is closed in the area Essentherstraße/Alleegasse up to Berndorf Factory from August 15 to September 5 due to forestry work. On weekends, the cycle path is repeatedly reopened (Fridays from 6:00 pm until Monday 6:00 am).

    The 60-kilometer-long Triesting-Gölsental Cycle Path is one of the top cycling routes in Lower Austria and ideally connects the Thermen with the Traisental cycle paths.
