Starting at the station in Marchegg, the cycling round trip begins northwards to Schloss Marchegg. From there, it heads east crossing the March Bridge into Slovakia. There you cycle along the Iron Curtain Trail (EV13) and cross the March at Devinska Nova Ves back into Austria. Then you cycle directly past Schloss Hof and continue southwards. After about 10 km on the KTM cycle path, you pass the small romantic castle Niederweiden. The journey continues to Engelhartstetten where the southern loop meets. You cycle westwards through Loimersdorf and Kopfstetten and then reach Schloss Eckartsau with its beautiful garden grounds. From there, you continue south until you meet the Danube Cycle Path (EV6). You follow this eastwards to Stopfenreuth, where you turn north again to Engelhartstetten. From there, you return the same way to Marchegg station.
Author’s recommendation
Visit the Marchfeld castles, all located on the route.
Along the Schlösserreich cycle paths, artfully designed rest areas invite you to linger, discover, and solve puzzles. They offer exciting insights into history, routes, and excursion tips – bringing a piece of castle culture into the open nature.
Three of these rest areas are found directly on this route next to Schloss Marchegg (west side), at the foot of Schloss Hof (east side outside the castle grounds on the cycle path to the Freedom Bridge), and directly on the cycle path east of Schloss Niederweiden – including puzzle fun for young and old!
