Lake Neusiedl Vienna to Bratislava Self-guided Cycling Tour

This cycling tour through eastern Austria begins in the waltz capital—Vienna. Pedal along the grand Ringstraße, past St. Stephen’s Cathedral (Stephansdom), through the Prater park, and across the Danube Island (Donauinsel). Before heading south toward Lake Neusiedl (Neusiedlersee), take time to admire the magnificent Schönbrunn Palace. The flat landscape is gently dotted with rolling vineyard hills, while the lake’s shimmering reed beds lend a touch of enchantment. In Rust and Mörbisch, you might catch a glimpse of a stork—and you’re sure to enjoy tasting some of the region’s outstanding wines. A detour to the charming old town of Sopron offers a glimpse into Hungary, while a visit to Bratislava lets you explore the Slovakian capital. In the Seewinkel region, listen for the calls of rare birds, and in Eisenstadt, follow in the footsteps of the Esterházy family

Highlights:

  • Vienna's magnificent Ringstrasse
  • The gentle vineyards of Lake Neusiedl
  • The cycle tour to Hungary to the former Ödenburg
  • Lively Bratislava is very underrated among Europe's capitals

Tour character: Level 2

You’ll ride on a mix of paved and well-maintained gravel bike paths, with occasional stretches along quiet country roads. The terrain is generally flat and easygoing, with just a few short climbs near the Leitha Mountains (Leithagebirge) and in the vineyard areas.

  • Day 1

    Arrival in Vienna

    Tour information and bike fitting. The imperial city can be explored by bike very well. The famous Ringstraße with its splendid buildings such as the State Opera, Parliament, Burgtheater, City Hall and not to forget the Hofburg Palace are considered the most magnificent examples. But also Kärntnerstraße and St. Stephens cathedral and the quiet corners and alleyways of Old Vienna are worth seeing.

  • Day 2

    Vienna – Baden bei Wien approx. 45 km

    The bike tour will begin by the Danube Island and takes you on bike paths to Schönbrunn. After a sightseeing tour (not included in the tour price) you will first cycle slightly uphill, and then on a winding bike path down to the city of Baden. The old spa town in the Vienna Woods can tell a long story. It is certainly no coincidence that here Beethoven completed his "Ninth" with the Ode to Joy. The famous Casino of Baden, the beautiful Roman spa and the thermal spa in the Art Deco style from 1926 with which the Viennese nobility once brought the Adriatic beach to Baden, are worth seeing. Or: Board the local train (Badner Bahn) at Josefsplatz, which already in the days of Emperor Franz Joseph brought its passengers directly, in a one-hour drive from the Vienna Opera to the Casino Baden. Purchase tickets yourself at the train station. Your bikes will be transported to Baden.

  • Day 3

    Baden bei Wien –Rust/Mörbisch approx. 55 - 60 km

    You will leave Baden on beautiful bike paths and a little later you will find yourself in a completely new landscape. The atmosphere at Europe's westernmost steppe lake almost feels a little strange, since here, at the foothills of the Leithagebirge mountains, the Hungarian puszta starts. You can visit Eisenstadt (Esterhazy Castle) and St. Margaret (Roman stone quarry) or other sightseeing destinations (not included in the tour price). The Burgenland wines are world famous. While driving through the hilly vineyards, you can enjoy a magnificent view over the lake. Rust and Mörbisch are probably the most charming wine towns in Burgenland.

  • Day 4

    Trip to Sopron approx. 35/45 km

    Via or from the Festival City Mörbisch, where every summer an atmospheric operetta festival is held at the famous floating stage, you will cycle through soft vineyards with stunning views across the lake to the Hungarian border. Soon you will reach the former city of Ödenburg (Sopron) and its absolutely lovely old town. Today's Sopron invites you with its bustling streets and beautiful places to stay. Back to Mörbisch / Rust you will cycle on a beautiful bike path through the pretty lakeside scenery.

  • Day 5

    Rust/Mörbisch – Neusiedl/Jois approx. 50/55 km

    In the morning you will take a ferry to Illmitz. Today, it’s all about the national park “Neusiedlersee-Seewinkel”. The patios of birdwatchers are the only elevations you will find. Moreover, it should be noted that here, as well as on the slopes of the west side, between Podersdorf, Illmitz and Apetlon in the flat plains of the vineyards, excellent quality wines are produced. Some Trockenbeerenauslese wines of this area enjoy an excellent reputation. You will also come across some smaller or larger salt lakes (called Lacken) which are about 50 cm deep. This attraction of Seewinkel helped the region to its unique flora and fauna - and of course the “Lacken” bike trail to its name. The bike path will take you past wetlands, pastures and vineyards.

  • Day 6

    An Active Day of Rest

    A day to relax and recover: numerous leisure activities provide variety. The lake is a paradise for sailors, surfers, and swimmers. Cyclists may want to ride their bikes around the lake on the pretty Kirschblütenweg cycle path.

  • Day 7

    Neusiedl/Jois – Bratislava approx. 65 km

    Relaxed and refreshed, the route will lead you via Rohrau (birthplace of Joseph and Michael Haydn) into the "Roman Carnuntum", where once the amber and the limes roads crossed (Haidentor - a huge triumphal monument). At the Open Air Museum Petronell, you can visit a faithfully reconstructed Roman urban quarter (not included in the tour price). The border town of Hainburg is located directly on the Danube, just a few kilometers from your final destination Bratislava. We recommend an evening stroll through the beautiful old town.
