Vienna to Klosterneuburg by Bike
Updated
The Vienna to Klosterneuburg bike route hugs the Danube on a flat, mostly car-free path, ending at a grand abbey and wine town just beyond the city limits.
Following the Danube north
From the northern edge of Vienna the route joins the Danube Cycle Path and runs upstream on a smooth, well-signed riverside trail.
The roughly 12 to 15 km ride is almost entirely flat, making it manageable for casual cyclists and families with older children.
Klosterneuburg Abbey and wine
Klosterneuburg is famous for its medieval Augustinian abbey, one of Austria's oldest, with grand halls and a celebrated wine cellar.
The town sits among vineyards, so a reward of local wine or a heuriger meal makes the perfect turnaround point.
Getting back
You can simply retrace the riverside path, or shorten the return by hopping on a regional train back into the city with your bike.
Check seasonal bike rules on trains and aim for off-peak departures when carriages are less crowded.
