Hasi's Biking Paradise
Check out the full (German) version
After being on the net with my German Radler Paradies for a while
I figured out there are a couple of great international collections
of bicycle routes (especially the
Trento Bike Pages). To give
them access to my tours I made this (a little bit smaller) English
version.
Road Tours Starting in St.Pölten (Lower Austria)
St.Pölten is the capitol of Lower Austria, in the "flat"
part of Eastern Austria, 60 km west of Vienna (on Western railroad
and A1 Autobahn). But it's not really flat, the Alps start just
10 km south from here with small hills, getting higher soon. And
there is also the Dunkelsteinerwald in the north, a hilly area
with a lot of forest, the lovely Wachau - valley of the Danube
with its winegardens, a lot of different landscapes, my paradise
for biking.
I selected just the very best of my tours, you can find more on
my German pages. With the maps, diagrams and tables it should be
no problem to figure out the right way, if you are really interested.
- Wachau (71 km): Across the Dunkelsteinerwald (Dark Stone -
Forest) to the most famous part of the Danube-valley
- Plankenstein (100 km): My favorite Alps tour with two nice
mountains and almost no traffic)
- Mariazell (155 km): Follow the pilgrims through Traisen and Pielach - valley to one of
Austria's most famous tourist attractions)
Other Tours in the Area
- Around Schneealpe and Rax (120km): Starting in the Traisen-valley
village Hohenberg (40 km south of St.Pölten), with 4 summits
a real tough one
- Salzatal and Zellerrain: Another tour in the Lower Austria
- Styria - Border region, starting in Mitterbach (70 km south
of St.Pölten).
