Description
The ongoing maintenance of this route is supported by MOUNTAINBIKER.at.
The Kahlenbergerdorf route is a challenging mountain bike tour with a length of 38.81 kilometers and an elevation gain of 994 meters, offering numerous scenic and technical highlights. A sweat-inducing climb leads to the Kahlenberg, from where impressive views of Vienna and the surrounding countryside open up. The route also includes the Upper and Lower Roan Trail and the Scheiblingstein Trail, which provide varied and challenging singletrail passages. There are numerous refreshment stops along the route, for example at the Windischhütte, where you can take a break. The final section leads leisurely along the Danube back to the starting point in Kahlenbergerdorf, with the mixture of asphalt (38%), gravel (42%) and forest and meadow paths (20%) ensuring a varied riding experience.
- safety instructions Before every ride, check the functionality of brakes, tires, and suspension fork/shock absorber. Always ride with hazard awareness and controlled speed, and adapt the route choice to the riding skills of the group and the terrain. The Fair Play rules must be observed at all times. Single/shared trails as well as built trails in trail parks and trail centers often have stones, roots, steep sections, steps, and sharp curves that require a certain riding skill. When in doubt, simply dismount and push the bike.
- Equipment A safe and functional mountain bike is a prerequisite for all routes. Helmet and gloves protect in case of falls and can be supplemented with knee and elbow protectors on single/shared trails. A modern mountain bike with disc brakes and sufficient tire tread is recommended. For single and shared trails from the red difficulty level, a full suspension bike with modern geometry is recommended. Tools, tire levers, a pump, and a spare tube help in case of a breakdown. Sufficient food and drink as well as a mobile phone and wind/rain jacket should also be carried.
- Route description The challenging Kahlenbergerdorf route offers great sections, inspiring views, numerous opportunities to stop for refreshments, and serves as a feeder and connector for some single and shared trails. After the sweat-inducing ascent to Kahlenberg, the trail leads off into terrain and quiet forest roads. We also use the two Roan trails and the Scheiblingstein trail for a varied ride to Windischhütte. The return to the eponymous Kahlenbergerdorf is then relaxed, also along the Danube.Surface: Asphalt 38%, Gravel 42%, Forest/Meadow 20%
- Parking Due to lack of parking spaces, it is best to take the S45 to Heiligenstadt or the S40 to Nussdorf and cycle along the Danube to the starting point.
- Getting there Either coming from Klosterneuburg along the Danube to Kahlenbergerdorf or naturally from Heiligenstadt/Nußdorf along the Danube to Kahlenbergerdorf

The elevation data for this route were calculated based on the A-MAP. Slight variations are unavoidable due to different map data from routing/navigation apps and devices. More information can be found in the following blog post!
Note: New route for Schönstatt Trail due to urn forest (see photo)
The Schönstatt Trail has been relocated and riding on the previous paths is now prohibited. A forest cemetery has been established here as a final resting place and must be respected! Instead, the challenging Dornröschen Trail has been newly created and connects below the Kahlenbergerdorf route to the Schönstatt Trail. Alternatively, these can also be reached north (right) of the Schönstatt Trail by a short push section.
