A popular themed bike route along old railroad tracks in the southern Weinviertel, just outside Vienna.
A popular themed bike route along old railroad tracks in the southern Weinviertel, just outside Vienna.
The "Dampfross und Drahtesel" adventure cycle path leads along the former route of the Landesbahn from Stammersdorf via Pillichsdorf to Deutsch Wagram. Along the route, impressively staged adventure stops tell the story of the railroad. At some of these stops, you can listen to audio books about the experiences of the former steam train. Railroad relics and art objects serve as signposts. Cycle in the footsteps of the "steam horses" in the Weinviertel! Via the region around Wolkersdorf you reach the northern Marchfeld.
A short variant between Pillichsdorf - Kapellerfeld and Vienna is now also signposted and passable.
The cycling route "Steam Horse and Bike" starts at the old station in Stammersdorf, where you learn something about the local railway history of Stammersdorf. Afterwards, you cycle on to the "Rendezvous Hill" station, which informs you about the remarkable habitat of "ruderal plants." Across the state border of Vienna and Lower Austria, marked by a barrier, you head to Hagenbrunn, where pieces of railway history are cleverly staged in a "railway archaeology."
Then it goes to Großebersdorf and Eibesbrunn, where you have a magnificent view of Vienna and the southern foothills of the Weinviertel. You also learn more about the significance of signals in rail traffic. In Obersdorf is the "time track," which tells about the local railway history. In Pillichsdorf, you can climb onto the "locomotive ride bike" and then enjoy a good glass of wine in the wine cellar alley, which is one of the largest connected wine cellar alleys in Europe. Afterwards, you cycle on to Groß-Engersdorf, with the opportunity to explore the Museum of Village Culture and the wine cellar alley.
Then it continues to Bockfließ, where the Wine Tour with Energy accompanies you for a short distance. But soon you head south to Strasshof an der Nordbahn. In the "Railway Museum Strasshof" you can experience over 100 veterans of the rails up close, and on Sundays and public holidays, you even have the opportunity to ride in the cab of a locomotive. At the end of this tour, you cycle to Deutsch Wagram, where you can explore the Napoleon Museum and the Railway Museum, located on the site where Austria's first train station was built.
Via the Marchfeld Canal Cycle Path, you can cycle back to the starting point in Stammersdorf or reach the starting point by train.
Stammersdorf is located on the outskirts of Vienna and can be reached via the federal highway "B7".
Stammersdorf is publicly accessible via Vienna Lines.
At 10 stops, audiobooks are available. Immerse yourself in the former world with the voice of Wolfgang Böck (known from Kaisermühlen Blues), when the steam horse ran from Vienna to the Weinviertel.
