Paths covering:
From Wels you can cycle very comfortable all the way along the river of the same name to Traun.
- Still staying on the bank of the Traun - you cycle now first past only industrial areas, however, without being disturbed by the traffic – and then about another 2.5 km always a few meters to the left of the road but still without traffic – after a further one and a half kilometres you need to look out for the waste incineration plant: the Römerradweg (Roman Cycle Trail) passes the foot of the dam and shortly before the plant's main gate which you pass to the right of the Marchtrenk hydropower plant, passing by and under the Autobahn bridge to the branch leading to Marchtrenk.Behind Au you reach quickly the Weißkirchner Straße (street) to Marchtrenk.
Here at Au an der Traun you have now for the first time the choice, for the trip downriver, between taking the north or the south bank; the Austrian Scouts have used the section as a "Cycle Trail for Peace" and display on the occasion of its 100th anniversary, the history of the 10 stages:
On the north bank: Keep to the right of the rest area and continue under the road bridge - always remaining on the river bank but with options of marked detours to Kappern, Holzleiten or Rutzing - the power plant at Traun-Pucking and the second road bridge to Haid, give you the chance to change river banks passing Traun-Oedt and Traun-St. Dionysen until you reach the railway bridge; then turn up left and cross to the right.
On the south bank: Keep left up the road to Au, but then turn right on to the cycle trail going along the road - directly on the other bank cross the busy road carefully to the left - past the well-marked branch trails to Sinnersdorf, Pucking and Hasenufer - at the power plant, Traun-Pucking and second road bridge, you can change again to the north bank to Traun – then continue to the railway bridge and at Traun-St. Dionysen head south.
From Traun to St. Florian (18 km)
Together with the Kremstalradweg (Krems Valley Cycle Trail) (R 10), you now continue keeping to the right of the railway tracks, past the Ansfelden stop on the eastern side of Haid - briefly you take the industrial road, then return back on to the cycle trail under the Autobahn, continuing straight ahead at the junction of the Kremstalradweg just before Nettingsdorf railway station staying on the Bahnhofstraße (Bahnhof street); now together with the Anton-Bruckner-Radweg (cycle trail) (R 14) on the Nettingdorf road with more traffic, over the Krems, leaving the paper mill at your right. After the railway turn left into the small Moosbauerstraβe (street) curving its way uphill or continue via Grabwinkel, then down the bumpy road through Fleckendorf and Vordermayrberg, and at crossings continue always more or less straight ahead on the main path (nearly 7 km).
Wambach
Turn right here to the lake with the same name, then in a right-left curve continue up the steep Kremsdorferweg passing Wambacherberg and the Wolfjägerhof. The Wolfjägerstraβe makes a winding descent to down to Rohrbach. There, continue first to the right on Wolfernerstraβe which has right of way, but soon turn diagonally left into the small Griftenstraβe. When you reach the first houses in the village of Ölkam turn right at the junction towards the Gasthof Zur Hölle and then at Vierseithof Gemering again follow the sign to the right, now cycling uphill. On the Brucknerstraβe continue one last time steeply up through the forest. Continue on this road taking the curves down the hill to St. Florian. At Staftstraβe turn left to the famous Augustinian Chorherrenstift.
From St. Florian to Enns (9 km, to the Danube 11 km)
Here turn right downhill – do not take the Schulgasse which is closed to all traffic - but continue down the Fürstenberg and then turn left into Linzer Straße, continue straight taking the bend to the right past Marktplatz on the Wienerstraβe finally leaving the Marktgemeinde (market area). At the bell foundry turn diagonally to the right towards Samesleiten and (diagonally to the left) on the Samesleitnerstraße in the direction of Enns. Take the curves over the stream and then turn right on to the main road, a bit away from the noisy West- Autobahn. Turn left directly at the next opportunity and then left again on to the Johann- Hoflehner-Straβe to the A1 and cross beneath it. On the outskirts of Enns begins the cycle trail that leads across the roundabout. Here the Donauradweg (Danube Cycle Trail) is already signposted to the right; for example, this shortcut is useful when, apart from a stroll through the town, you are planning to continue the journey along the south bank of the Danube. The Römerradweg goes straight ahead over the major junction with Dr.-Karl-Renner-Straβe; continue on the cycle trail on the right-hand side now on the new Lagerhaus Straβe, straight towards the railway tracks; turn right there parallel to the Westbahnstraβe to Bahnhof Enns (Enns railway station).

Vis-à-vis users
1. The tours presented for hiking, walking, biking and road biking, mountain biking, motorbiking, horseback riding, climbing, cross-country skiing, and going on skiing and snowshoe tours etc. are to be considered non-paid tour recommendations and only serve as non-binding information. We have no intention of concluding a contract with the users of this website. The utilisation of the data does not lead to the establishment of a contract with us.
The data may only be used for private use; any commercial use is prohibited. In particular, it is not permissible to offer the data on commercially run websites, file-sharing platforms etc. or to use it to develop commercial products. Downloading data does not imply that users are granted rights to the data concerned.
The tour recommendations posted were created with utmost care; nevertheless, we assume no liability for the correctness and completeness of the information.
We point out that neither the tour recommendations included on this website nor the associated data and information were posted by us, but rather by third parties (Art. 16 Austrian E-Commerce Act). We have no influence on whether the details provided (e.g. distance, level of difficulty, change in altitude, description etc.) are authentic, correct and complete. We do not review these third-party contents. For this reason, we assume no liability for the authenticity, correctness and completeness of the information.
Construction-related measures or other influences (e.g. landslides and similar occurrences) can lead to temporary or permanent changes in a route (e.g. loss of a bridge and similar occurrences). Such occurrences can lead to part of the route or the entire route becoming impassable.
The use of the data as well as undertaking (riding, walking, taking etc.) the recommended tours or using the network of paths occurs at users’ own risk and on their authority. In particular, users themselves are responsible for the choice of route, outdoor orientation, adherence to traffic rules, supplies and equipment for tours listed in Point 1 (e.g. bicycle etc.), wearing a helmet, estimating their own fitness, recognising dangers and maintaining an appropriate velocity. We exclude ourselves from any liability whatsoever for damages, in particular accidents, that occur whilst taking part in the recommended tours.
2.Some of the tours lead over roads with normal traffic conditions. Please observe that there is an increased risk which can be avoided by means of appropriate attention and proper estimation and implementation of one’s own abilities. For this reason, please travel a route that is unfamiliar to you slowly and with special care. Pay constant attention to potential dangers and always observe traffic. Do not leave the routes featured in descriptions.
The potential use of private roads, in particular forestry roads and agricultural transport roads, can be subject to legal restrictions, which must be observed and adhered to.
The normal traffic rules apply. Each user (e.g. biker, motorbiker) is responsible for adhering to these rules and maintaining his/her bike/vehicle and its equipment (lights, brakes etc.) in good working order. Each user is also responsible for ensuring that he/she rides at a velocity that is appropriate for the conditions and his/her skill level and for maintaining sufficient distance to the rider in front. We explicitly recommend adjusting velocity to correspond to the respective field of vision, wearing a helmet, using reflective clothing (or similar) and employing bicycle lights in line with regulations.
3.Each tour requires good physical fitness as well as detailed planning. We explicitly recommend only taking the tours in the case of optimal healthiness.
We recommend that you conclude an accident and liability insurance policy. Use an onboard computer that displays the respective kilometres travelled per day and is calibrated for the front wheel.
4.Special for mountain bikers – Fair-play rules:
Mountain biking is one of the most wonderful outdoor leisure-time activities. Whilst biking or on a mountain biking tour, mountains and lakes, meadows and cabins are re-discovered in new ways. A couple of rules for fair play in the forest help to avoid conflicts whilst mountain biking.
a.Pedestrians have the right of way: We are accommodating and friendly to pedestrians and hikers. Upon encountering these fellow travellers, we alert them by using the bicycle bell and slowly overtake them. We avoid paths with heavy pedestrian traffic altogether. Take nature into account: We do not leave refuse behind.
b.The braking distance should be half of the total distance visible: We ride at a controlled pace, are ready to brake and maintain a braking distance half as long as the total distance visible, especially in curves, because we always have to count on obstacles on the path. Damage to the path, stones, branches, wood piles, grazing livestock, cattle grids, barriers, tractor-type forestry machines and authorised vehicles pose dangers that we need to be ready for.
c.Don’t drink and drive!: Do not drink alcohol when mountain biking. Take care at stop-off points (dealing with bike racks, dirty shoes or clothing).
It is obligatory to provide first aid!
d.Marked routes, closed paths and blockades: Keep to the marked routes, observe the blockades and accept that these roads are primarily for agricultural and forestry use!
Blockades can often not be avoided and are in your own interest. Biking beyond the intended path and outside of opening times is punishable and turns us into illegal bikers.
e.We are guests in the forest and behave accordingly, including vis-à-vis forestry and hunting staff. Whilst mountain biking, mobile telephones and music players are forbidden! Biking requires your full attention.
f.Avoid unnecessary noise. Out of consideration to the animals living in the wild, we only bike during full daylight. As a principle, we always wear our helmet (even when riding uphill)! Don’t forget emergency supplies: We always have a repair set and bandages along.
g.Don’t overestimate your skills: We should not overdo it when it comes to biking technique and physical fitness. Take the level of difficulty posed by the route into consideration and make a precise estimate of your experience and skills as a biker (braking, bell, lights)!
h.Close gates: We approach grazing livestock at a walking pace and close every gate behind us. We should avoid causing escape and panic reactions in the animals. Nothing stands in the way of the fun and athletic challenge in the mountains and forests!
i.Traffic rules: The general traffic rules (StVO) apply for all the mountain biking routes and we adhere to them. Our bike therefore needs to be in perfect technical condition and equipped in line with the traffic rules, including brakes, a bell and lights. We inspect and service our mountain bikes regularly anyway.
