Description

The Water Landscape Cycle Path runs through the Upper Waldviertel, between numerous ponds, dense forests and colorful flower meadows. Right at the start of the cycle tour, it becomes clear that numerous adventures await explorers with a thirst for knowledge - right from the start! The route starts in Schrems at the main square / church square. The absolute highlight in Schrems is the UnterWasserReich, which will amaze young and old alike and is located just 1.3 km off the route. Exciting stops are also waiting to be discovered along the rest of the route. For example, the Wackelstein in Amaliendorf, the Cheese Makers' World in Heidenreichstein, the Sole Felsen Bad and the Blockheide Nature Park in Gmünd or the Waldenstein graduation facility. Right up to the last possible stop at the Wald4tler Hoftheater, the Water Landscape Cycle Trail impresses with unique experiences to take home with you. True to the motto: right in the middle of it all!

Bikers particularly enjoy using the nostalgic Waldviertel Railway to explore the popular Water Landscape Cycle Trail. After you have cycled a section of the Waldviertel, you can change back to the Waldviertelbahn (between Gmünd and Litschau) at any time and cover one stage by train to enjoy the view in comfort. You don't need to worry about transporting your bike: Your bike travels with you free of charge.
