OPTIONAL EXTRAS
The Lake Neusiedl Cycling Tour follows a diverse 8-day route through the landscapes of the border triangle between Austria, Hungary, and Slovakia.
Each day, you will cycle approximately 50 kilometers, experiencing everything from the vibrant city of Vienna to the tranquil beauty of the Austrian countryside, even crossing the borders into Hungary and Slovakia.
Lake Neusiedl is Europe’s westernmost steppe lake. With its warm, shallow waters, it will invite you for a refreshing swim, as you will spend several days cycling along its scenic shores.
Keep an eye out for the iconic storks, a beloved symbol of the region!
Just at the foothills of the Leithagebirge mountains, the Great Hungarian Plain starts. The landscape of the Neusiedler region will unfold in front of you with lush orchards, expansive vineyards, and shimmering salt lakes, offering a constantly changing backdrop.
Daily excursions to Sopron in Hungary and Bratislava in Slovakia add an international touch, rounding off this diverse cycling adventure. You will get a special chance to experience and compare three cultures, each unique in its own way but still influencing and shaping one another.
The route terrain is mostly flat, except for a few hilly vineyards. You will predominantly cycle upon asphalted and well-beaten gravel cycle paths. They are all in good condition due to constant maintenance.
Thoughtfully planned for an easygoing journey, this tour features a well-mapped route with clear GPS directions, pre-booked accommodations, hassle-free luggage transfers, and our dependable customer support, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience.
Top Places You'll See
From natural wonders to authentic local culture, the route is packed with memorable sights—these are our absolute favorites.

Vienna
Austria’s capital has been named the “World’s Most Livable City” multiple years running in 2023 by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). It blends grandeur and green spaces. You’ll cycle past imperial palaces, elegant coffeehouses, and along the wide banks of the Danube. With bike-friendly infrastructure and countless cultural stops, Vienna is both a highlight in itself and a comfortable starting point for many tours.

Baden bei Wien
Baden bei Wien, located about 25 kilometers south of Vienna, has been a spa destination since Roman times thanks to its sulfur-rich hot springs. The town flourished in the 19th century as a retreat for the Viennese elite, leaving behind villas, parks, and a prominent casino. Landmarks include the Kurhaus and the Rosarium, which features over 800 varieties of roses. Today, Baden is part of the UNESCO-listed “Great Spa Towns of Europe,” highlighting its historic role in European spa culture.

Lake Neusiedl
Austria’s largest lake lies on the border with Hungary, surrounded by vineyards, reed beds, and steppe landscapes. The flat terrain makes it perfect for families and casual cyclists, while the microclimate brings over 2,000 hours of sunshine per year. Stops along the route include wine villages, historic castles, and birdwatching points in a UNESCO biosphere reserve, making this a wonderfully diverse ride.

Rust
Rust is a small town on the western shore of Lake Neusiedl, famous for its baroque facades and as one of Austria’s leading wine towns. It has a population of just under 2,000, yet is internationally recognized for its sweet wines, especially Ruster Ausbruch. The town is also notable for its white stork colonies, with nests perched on rooftops throughout the old center. As part of the Neusiedler See UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape, Rust blends viticulture, history, and nature in one compact setting.

Bratislava
Slovakia’s capital sits on the banks of the Danube, just 65 kilometers from Vienna. The compact old town is filled with baroque palaces, Gothic churches, and cozy squares, overlooked by Bratislava Castle with views across three countries. Cyclists ride riverside paths and cross modern bridges before diving into cobbled streets lined with cafés. It’s a small capital with a mix of charm and accessibility, perfect for a short stop on the way east.

Had a ball! We rode from Ljubljana to Bled via the mountains - 5 days/4 nights. Daja did a great job communicating with us and ironing out any hitches as soon as they were identified. E-Bikes were great (and v necessary!), accomm was great and the scenery was extraordinary! Being less fit, I wished I had opted for a days’ break at Lake Bohinj. My legs and butt would have appreciated it. Can’t wait to return and do another riding tour with this company!


We did the alps to the adriatic bike tour and let me tell you it was fantastic. The bikes were great, the organization of the company was great, the hotels they picked were (mostly) perfect. We honestly had a 10/10 experience. Our bags were in our hotel room every afternoon we arrived!! We had no issues, the app they use to give you information about your ride and help you get from point A to point B were extremely impressive. We never felt lost, or confused, or off track and we had zero cell service for the most part!!
