The cycling tour through the diverse landscapes of the Kamp Valley begins in Altenwörth in the Danube Valley. In Langenlois, you’ll arrive in Austria’s largest wine-growing town. And that’s not all: here, wine becomes an experience, gardens a spectacle, and modern architecture a delight. Continuing along the Kamp River, the bike path winds around Rosenburg Castle, which towers majestically over the Kamp Valley and ranks among Lower Austria’s most beautiful excursion destinations. The Dobra and Ottenstein reservoirs enchant visitors with their northern atmosphere, reminiscent of Norway’s fjords. The route continues to Zwettl Abbey, the third-oldest Cistercian monastery in the world. For over 875 years, monks have lived here, shaping their lives according to the rules of St. Benedict. At the tour’s destination, Zwettl, you can enjoy—surrounded by 917 meters of historic walls—the result of 300 years of expertise in the art of beer brewing. The river landscape of the Kamp accompanies you throughout the entire tour.

At the spectacular Dobra and Ottenstein reservoirs, you feel reminded of the fjords of Norway. The Zwettl Abbey, built in a meander of the Kamp, has existed since 1138. In the monastery and the Baroque abbey church, you get a deep look into the history of Christianity. Surrounded by historic city walls, the brewing town of Zwettl marks the end of the cycle route.
