The Traisental Cycle Path is a true highlight in the Mostviertel region – perfect for a relaxing bike ride through diverse landscapes! From the Danube to the upper Traisental, you'll cycle mostly on smooth asphalt. The route is ideal for leisurely cyclists – you can cruise along at a leisurely pace while enjoying the beautiful scenery.
The Traisental wine region is particularly attractive in the first few kilometers of the tour. Between St. Pölten, Tulln, and Krems, you'll find rolling hills, idyllic cellar lanes, and sunny vineyards – proof that the Mostviertel region also produces fine wines. Further along the Traisen River, you'll be treated to magnificent views of floodplain landscapes and well-maintained cycle paths.
It gets a little more demanding from Kernhof, where a sporting challenge awaits you: the climb to Gscheid is short but tough – four kilometers with inclines and curves. After that, the route continues at a moderate pace, with beautiful uphill and downhill sections. The final meters before Mariazell will challenge you once again on the Kreuzberg.
If you prefer a more leisurely pace or are traveling with your family, you can easily shorten individual stages by bus or train. And for the return journey, there's the idyllic Mariazell Railway – making your tour a relaxing and eventful experience!

View of Ochsenburg Castle
Highlight • Castle
In 2010, it was announced that the Diocese of St. Pölten was putting Ochsenburg Castle up for sale for approximately three million euros. Because no buyer had been found by mid-2011, it was announced that the castle was being renovated and could now be rented for celebrations. The castle and the estate located immediately to the east are listed as historical monuments.

And the other dishes on the menu are huge too. It takes a bit of strategy to accommodate all of this. :-)

The best way to get there is with the Mariazeller Bahn from St. Pölten (Himmelstreppe). MAKE A RESERVATION IN THE HIGH SEASON. There are only limited spaces for bicycles.
Horrible rainy weather in Mariazell yesterday; This morning when we started cycling, impressive wafts of fog and then only the most amazing sunshine 😊. A very nice tour, in a beautiful landscape along the Traisen. We cycled to St. Pölten and took the train home.
By car 🚗 to St.Pölten, on with the Ötscherbär to Mariazell and by bike back to St.Pölten
Day 2 of the bike trip took me back to St. Pölten via the Traisental cycle path. First, downhill over a few bends, then into Walstern, unfortunately the Wuchtelwirtin was closed (or thank God, as it turned out later), then to Gscheid, where I had a lunch break. After that, you ride downhill almost constantly, at first even very steeply, then on the old railway line to St. Ägyd, further via Freiland to Lilienfeld. I could already feel the thunder behind me... Nevertheless, I stopped in Lilienfeld for a drink. I decided not to wait, but continued on to Traisen, always with the rumble of thunder behind me. It was only from Wilhelmsburg that it was quiet and - thanks to my timing - I had escaped the thunderstorm. Unfortunately, the Traisental cycle path near St. Pölten is closed due to the Frequency festival, which caused a bit of discontent among the cyclists. There is a diversion, however. Thanks to komoot I also arrived at the train station, as I'm not very familiar with the area. An ice cream sundae in the pedestrian zone was the reward for the effort. A lovely tour, thank goodness I caught the perfect time each time...
Today we first went by train to St. Pölten, from there by bike tramper bus to Geschaid and on the Traisentalweg back to Traismauer. ATTENTION the trailer at the bus only has 20 seats.
Despite the occasional strong headwind, it was a wonderful bike ride.
