The fact that the ancient Romans played an important role in the history of Mautern is evident not only from some remains of the Roman fortress Favianis. The Roman Museum in the baroque Schüttkasten of the castle also tells of the importance of the place in antiquity, while pretty townhouses report on the flourishing of the city in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Now the Tullnerfeld with its many surprises lies before you. The region is rich in landscapes and habitats, delicacies and specialties, and art and culture. The Tullnerfeld cycle path invites you to an interesting day trip on your bike. If your schedule allows, visit Traismauer, the historic Roman and Nibelung city. Roman times are evidenced in the town center by the Roman gate, the Hunger Tower, and the former Roman fortress – today an elegant castle with a wine tavern. Enjoy a tasty sample of the Sitzenberger carp or relax at the summer festivals at Sitzenberg Castle. Typical places like Atzenbrugg, where the song prince Franz Schubert made music, or Rust with the Leopold Figl Museum, are just as much part of the Tullnerfeld as Langenrohr with the Josef Reither Museum.
Passing Zwentendorf with Austria's only nuclear power plant that was never put into operation, you reach Tulln. Not only the GARTEN TULLN with its 70 gardens (reopened from May 15, 2020), the 30-meter-high tree-top path, and the water park (boat rental!), but also the Hundertwasser ship »Rainy Day« and the Tullner Aubad are located almost directly on the cycle path.
After Tulln, you are accompanied by the hill chain of the Vienna Woods, which at the Danube bend Greifenstein finally reaches right to the shore. Here, a secluded old Danube arm invites you to swim. Now it is not far to the wine town of Klosterneuburg.
Special note:
If you get hungry along the way, the gastronomy along the route spoils you with delicious take-away dishes. Enjoy a comfortable meal outdoors. You can find all inns and Heurigen hosts on our homepage www.tullnerdonauraum.com.

Route description:
You begin your route in Mautern on the Danube. Culture enthusiasts will be rewarded right from the start because Mautern has a long Roman historical background and accordingly offers many finds from that time. After you have devoted enough time to the history of Mautern, you leave the town heading towards the river Fladnitz. In this section, you get a wonderful view of Göttweig Abbey. Along the Fladnitz, you cycle downstream towards the Danube. Shortly before the Fladnitz flows into the Danube, you turn onto the Danube cycle path. You now follow this beautiful cycle path from one Danube bend to the next, passing lovely bathing beaches and shaded forests, the Danube restaurant, and the Nibelung city of Traismauer until you finally reach the tributary river Traisen. There you cross the Traisen and ride back to the shore of the Danube.
Here you come to the small community of Zwentendorf on the Danube, which has a special attraction: Austria's first and only nuclear power plant that was never put into operation. You continue along the cycle path, which you leave at Kleinschönbichl and move a bit away from the Danube. You ride on the country road through the two villages Pischelsdorf and Langenschönbichl and further along L 2148 to the river Große Tulln. Having crossed this river, you return on the other side back to the Danube. Here, you cover the next meters on the cycle path before arriving at your intermediate destination, the town of art and gardens Tulln on the Danube. Vibrant water landscapes amid nature, splendid green and garden spaces, and the unique art enjoyment surrounding Egon Schiele, the world-famous painter, await you.
You continue closely along the Danube on the well-developed cycle path. Passing small villages and cool forests, you simply follow the Danube cycle path. Gradually, the famous Vienna Woods come into view. At Greifenstein, you must cross a Danube side arm and continue your ride on the opposite bank. Shortly after Höflein on the Danube, you turn right off the cycle path and ride directly along the Klosterneuburg cut towards the center of Klosterneuburg. This brings you to the end of this rewarding bike route. Klosterneuburg, shaped by the Augustinian Canon monastery Klosterneuburg and embedded in the hilly landscape of the Vienna Woods and the Danube floodplains, lies right on the outskirts of Vienna, just a few kilometers from the center of the vibrant Vienna city center.

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.
