Description

In St. Andrä near Herzogenburg, the Traisental-Danube cycle route branches off from the Traisental cycle route. The route leads via Hameten and Gutenbrunn along the small baroque road to Sitzenberg-Reidling. As you enter Sitzenberg, you are greeted by Sitzenberg Castle, which is situated on the Schlossberg. At the end of the Kastanienallee, you can also take a detour along the Tullnerfeld cycle path to the Ahrenberger-Eichberger wine cellar lane , approx. 2 km away, to stop for refreshments at a wine tavern. Or you can take advantage of the picturesque Sitzenberg castle pond for a relaxing break and cool down.

The carp nature trail (1.6 km) around the pond and the biodiversity trail (3 km) offer you an informative opportunity to get to know the fauna and flora. You can sample regional fish specialties at the Landgasthof Schmid "Karpfenwirt". The cycle route takes you past Maria Ponsee through the floodplain landscape to Altenwörth, where you join the Danube cycle path.

Equipment Touring bike, mountain bike, or city bike are recommended.
