In the footsteps of the Romans from St. Pölten to Wieselburg Note: former Meridian cycle route
50 km of variety in the foothills of the Alps for experienced cyclists: the Roman Cycle Route is a great way to explore the central regions of the Mostviertel.
The Roman Cycle Route not only connects two rivers (the Traisen and the Erlauf), but also two special places in Lower Austria: the provincial capital of St. Pölten and Wieselburg.
The Roman bike route is signposted between St. Pölten Alpenbahnhof and Wieselburg (Zwiesel). It leads westwards via Völlerndorf, where it crosses the Pielachtalradweg, and St. Margarethen, where it crosses the Melker Alpenvorland-Radroute, continuing through Hürm, St. Leonhard, Ruprechtshofen, and Bergland to Petzenkirchen, where from Petzenkirchen station it runs parallel to the Erlauftalradweg to Wieselburg.
From Wieselburg, you can cycle along the Erlauftalradweg north to the Danube cycle path or south to Lunz am See to the Ybbstalradweg. Alternatively, from Wieselburg, follow the Little Erlauftalradweg to Gaming and then the Erlauftalradweg downstream back to Wieselburg.
When arriving in St. Pölten, parking at Alpenbahnhof is recommended, where there are free parking spaces and the Roman bike route passes directly by.
Via the Westautobahn A1, exit St. Pölten-Süd
Travel comfortably by train via the Westbahn line to St. Pölten main station.
The Roman bike route is ideal for multi-day routes, as Wieselburg is a cycling hub with the Erlauftalradweg and the Little Erlauftalradweg!
