August 27, 2023,Vom Lunzer See nach Amstetten

Today we took the Radtramper (bus with bicycle transport) from Amstetten to Lunz am See. On the bus we happened to meet Stefanowitsch, he shares great and interesting tours on Komoot. It was a very short bus ride. From Göstling we had a very strong headwind and from Hollenstein the sun was gone and it was heavily overcast.

July 14, 2022,Radtour. Ybbs/Donau - Lunz am See (Ybbstalradweg)

The Ybbstalradweg will get new sections in 2023. The published information is the route of 2022, so the Komoot map with photos is only partially correct. The total kilometers and meters in altitude will also change minimally.

As soon as the new sections of the route are opened, the data on this website will be updated.

Ybbstal bike path! Anyone who knows him likes him. If you don't know it yet, try it out!
Even on former railway lines, you accumulate a few meters of altitude upstream. A narrow valley is a wind tunnel, downwind of course downwind! And the sun does the rest to get you sweating.
If you don't just want to eat at …

Overnight stay Amstetten:
Pension Leichtfried. Nice, clean, breakfast can be booked additionally.
As the main square is very close, we went to Cafe Exel.
Food:
Lunch - Theatercafe / Waidhofen an der Ybbs. Rather by chance, but a stroke of luck. Inexpensive lunch buffet, very nice waitresses.
Dinner - Cafe Bar Mian / Amstetten. Mainly because of WM public viewing, …
