Cross the Wienerwald and Mostviertel destinations by mountain or gravel bike - pure variety awaits you on your active vacation trip in wonderfully relaxing surroundings. Numerous refreshment stops along the route provide you with the energy you need for the meters of altitude and kilometers, where you can get to know the culinary side of the region. Look forward to four stages and feel the breeze between the vineyards, in the forest, close to the water and in the middle of the mountains. Sheep's cheese, camels, natural bathing lakes and much more. - The choice is yours! You can return in comfort on the Mariazell Railway's Himmelstreppe.
On this tour you will also find several establishments (e.g. Landgasthof "Zur Linde",Klosterwirt) as well as overnight accommodation (e.g. Hotel Wienerwaldhof, Schlosspark Mauerbach). More establishments are linked on the map and can be viewed directly. There are also some tips on places to visit.
- safety instructions Before each ride, check the functionality of brakes, tires, and suspension fork/damper. Always ride with hazard awareness and controlled speed, and adapt the route choice to the riding ability of the group and the terrain. Fair play rules must be observed at all times.
- Equipment A safe and functional mountain bike is a prerequisite for all routes. Helmet and gloves protect in case of falls and can be supplemented by knee and elbow protectors on single/shared trails. A modern mountain bike with disc brakes and adequate tire tread is recommended. For single and shared trails from the red difficulty level, a full suspension bike with modern geometry is recommended. Tools, tire levers, pump, and spare tube help in case of a breakdown. Sufficient provisions (drinks and food) should be carried along, as well as a mobile phone and wind/rain jacket.
- Route description Located north of the federal capital, the route leads from the charming Klosterneuburg along various MTB sections of the Vienna Woods to the Wienerwaldhof near Tullnerbach and on the second day further to Brand-Laaben, a small quiet village in the Elsbeere-Vienna Woods region. From there, the route leads out of the Vienna Woods destination and via the Gölser and Traisen valley bike paths into the alpine Mostviertel to the second stop in St. Aegyd am Neuwalde. In the Göller area and near Annaberg, the last section with Hubertus and Erlauf lakes offers perfect opportunities to cool down and enjoy nature. Just a few kilometers further, the destination at the famous pilgrimage basilica Mariazell provides a great backdrop and cultural conclusion to your pilgrimage on two wheels.
