You can cycle the 72-kilometer-long Tullnerfeld cycle path as an alternative loop to the Danube Cycle Path or as a round trip – in both directions. Thanks to the good train connection, it is also possible to ride only sections.
Coming from the west, you leave the Danube Cycle Path at Traismauer and cycle through the primeval floodplain landscape, where the Traisen old arm offers welcome refreshment in hot weather. In the center of Traismauer, stone testimonies recall the 2000-year-old history – those interested visit the town and local history museum in the horseshoe tower.
Along fertile fields, the paved cycle path leads you to the longest cultivated cellar lane in Austria – the Ahrenberger-Eichberger cellar lane. There, vintners await their visitors with regional delicacies and drinks. A “talking wine barrel” tells stories, and from the lookout tower “Corkscrew,” a spectacular panoramic view opens up over the wide land. At the foot of Sitzenberg Castle, the castle pond with a sunbathing area, jetty, and playground invites you to rest.
Then continue along meadows and fields through the town center of Reidling and other typical Tullnerfeld places. In Atzenbrugg, where Franz Schubert spent his summer months composing and making music, a visit to the memorial and the Schubert Museum in the castle is worthwhile. In summer, the Schubertiades are held here.
On the way to Michelhausen, the route leads you past the Leopold Figl Museum in Rust, which is dedicated to the former Austrian Federal Chancellor. Depending on the season, you then cycle through lush green or bright yellow and can buy regional products directly from the farmers.
After the new Tullnerfeld station, the route leads to Judenau: from here the cycle path runs alongside the Große Tulln river. You comfortably reach Langenrohr along the river embankment and have a choice here: exciting contemporary history at the Josef Reiter Museum or culinary delights in one of the many wine taverns. Our tip: try both!
Last but not least – the cultural highlight of the route: the city round through Tulln, past the Schiele Museum and Schiele’s renovated birthplace, the GARTEN TULLN at the water park, and the Danube promenade, which is worth seeing in every season. The cycle path then returns along the Danube via the Roman Zwentendorf back to Traismauer.
