The Lake Neusiedl Cycling Tour follows a diverse 8-day route through the landscapes of the border triangle between Austria, Hungary, and Slovakia.

Each day, you will cycle approximately 50 kilometers, experiencing everything from the vibrant city of Vienna to the tranquil beauty of the Austrian countryside, even crossing the borders into Hungary and Slovakia.

Lake Neusiedl is Europe’s westernmost steppe lake. With its warm, shallow waters, it will invite you for a refreshing swim, as you will spend several days cycling along its scenic shores.

Keep an eye out for the iconic storks, a beloved symbol of the region!

Just at the foothills of the Leithagebirge mountains, the Great Hungarian Plain starts. The landscape of the Neusiedler region will unfold in front of you with lush orchards, expansive vineyards, and shimmering salt lakes, offering a constantly changing backdrop.

Daily excursions to Sopron in Hungary and Bratislava in Slovakia add an international touch, rounding off this diverse cycling adventure. You will get a special chance to experience and compare three cultures, each unique in its own way but still influencing and shaping one another.

The route terrain is mostly flat, except for a few hilly vineyards. You will predominantly cycle upon asphalt and well-beaten gravel cycle paths. They are all in good condition due to constant maintenance.

Thoughtfully planned for an easygoing journey, this tour features a well-mapped route with clear GPS directions, pre-booked accommodations, hassle-free luggage transfers, and our dependable customer support, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience.
