March 23, 2024,2405-Drei-Täler-Tour Fladnitz-Traisen-Donau🚲😎🤩

Start in Palt, at the foot of Göttweig Abbey. Bright blue sky, sunshine and 20°C, light wind ☀️🌎 and after 500 meters almost ran over a slowworm🐍. Along the Fladnitz to St.Pölten, sometimes with a very strong headwind but still warm and dry. From St. Pölten then with a tailwind in the wonderfully beautiful Traisental to Traismauer. Shortly before that, …

The weather app predicted 10 minutes of rain starting at 3:00 PM, followed by two hours. It should be easy, so we set off. The rain started around 1:30 PM after Traismauer, and even though it wasn't very heavy, we still got wet.

But it turned out to be a mixed ride with ups and downs, typical of life.

We set off in relatively nice weather, always heading for Göttweig Abbey, visible from afar, at the top of the mountain.

The Fladnitz Cycle Path is varied and well-maintained. The Traisen Cycle Path is also beautifully laid out and paved throughout. It's recommended on cloudy days, but today, with 32 degrees Celsius and almost no shade, it was a …
