Hey Komootlers, this railway cycle path is very well developed and makes for a fast ride. Unfortunately, we got really wet on the way back. 😅

July 11, 2025,🇦🇹 Waidhofen an der Thaya -> 🇨🇿 Slavonice 11.07.2025

After arriving in Waidhofen, we wanted to do a little exercise and reconnaissance to Slavovice in the Czech Republic, but had to turn back shortly before our destination due to persistent rain 🙆. The entire route is an abandoned, fully paved railway line, so there's zero elevation gain. Unfortunately, it won't be any different in the next few days. But …

Even if the weather wasn't supposed to be that special, we definitely had to get out on the bike today. The Vogteude was bigger than the temperature was low. In Slavonice, the noodle-cut pork was usually ordered. Only today it was really spicy. And how!. On the way back we had strong headwinds and sometimes crosswinds. But in the end …

September 13, 2025,Thayarunde 2: Waidhofen an der Thaya nach Slavonice

This is the kind of cycling route you'd want: paved, with gentle gradients and varied scenery. Few cyclists, because the weather wasn't great.
Worth mentioning along the way is the quirky, manual self-service ferry across the Thaya River and, in Waldkirchen, the farmers' self-service shop.
Slavonice has many beautiful old houses and three castle wall entrances. Unfortunately, it's not known …

After the doctor's approval and after having my pulse checked, I was allowed to ride my bike again, so today we chose an easy tour. The weather was still pretty cool in the morning, but later it was very warm again. The Austrians we met were mostly pensioners. And the Czechs mostly young people with small children. With our friends …

July 27, 2023,Bahnradweg von Waidhofen/Thaya bis Nähe Grenze 😊🚴‍♂️

Tried the Bahnradweg from Waidhofen/T in the direction of the border with Annemarie on Thursday - before that, a refreshment at noon 😉. The path in the direction of the border runs along the former railway line and is characterized by uniformly very good asphalting and very slight inclines - just a railway line. We spent the night in the …
