The Traisental Cycle Path is one of the most popular cycling routes in the Mostviertel region. The family and pilgrimage cycle path leads from Traismauer through the Traisental-Danube region via St. Pölten, Lilienfeld, and St. Aegyd am Neuwalde to Mariazell.

The Traisental Cycle Path is one of the most popular cycling routes in the Mostviertel area for several reasons. The interplay of landscapes is enchanting, and additionally, the path runs nicely flat and continuously asphalted up to the upper Traisental. The signage is regularly maintained and clearly visible.
From the Danube to Hohenberg, the route hardly rises noticeably, then a little more to Kernhof. Really demanding because steep is only the 4-kilometer section from Kernhof to the Gscheid (970 m). Then it goes moderately uphill, a section downhill, and finally only the Kreuzberg shortly before Mariazell needs to be conquered.
Those who do not want to cycle the entire route in one go can take individual stages by bus or train. Between Kernhof and St. Pölten, the Radtramper Bus runs. From St. Pölten, there is a rail connection to Lilienfeld as well as to Traismauer and Krems.
For the return trip from Mariazell to St. Pölten, the Mariazell Railway is recommended.
IMPORTANT:
The section between Kernhof and Mariazell requires some effort. The ascent/descent to/from the Gscheid is steep and winding. Therefore, this section is not recommended for families with small children.
