Day 2: Vienna – Baden nearby Vienna, approx. 45 km

From the Viennese Danube island, you cycle to Schönbrunn Castle. If you didn't have enough time on the day you arrived, visit this Baroque World Heritage Site today (not included in price). After a short uphill spurt, the route levels out and even goes slightly downhill to the Biedermeier town, Baden. The warm sulphur springs and the elegant casino made the town popular among the Viennese nobility.

Day 3: Baden nearby Vienna – Rust / Mörbisch, approx. 55 / 60 km

Although the first part of today's tour is still a little hilly, you will soon be surprised by the views of the Hungarian Puszta plain. Via Eisenstadt and St. Margarethen you reach today's destination. Neusiedler See Lake glitters, lined by reedland. Mörbisch is not only a well-known wine-growing region, it is also known for its lake-side festival. Enjoy the evening at the lake with a glass of wine.

Day 4: Round trip to Sopron, approx. 35 / 45 km

On today's tour you cycle along the gentle hills of the vineyards in Hungarian Sopron. The former Ödenburg links Hungary and its neighbours to the west. The majority of people here opted for Hungary, after the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. The pretty historic quarter is located around Sopron's fire tower. The return route takes you through beautiful countryside along the banks of the lake.

Day 5: Mörbisch – Neusiedl / Jois, approx. 50 km + ferry trip

Today, you explore the east bank of the lake, crossing Neusiedler Lake National Park. The unique flora and fauna is influenced by the numerous salt lakes here of all sizes. The wine-growing here is also very well established. The internationally known Trockenbeerenauslese (lit. dried berries selection) are pressed here. Neusiedl is a lively little town, with great places for bathing and water sports.
