Cycling

You can start the Thayarunde at any starting point. For example, in Göpfritz an der Wild, where you can easily get there by train. From here, the approximately 100-kilometer-long route runs mostly on the two former railway lines Waidhofen-Slavonice and Göpfritz-Raabs.

The former railway lines take you through wonderful nature, past old train stations and into cities worth seeing. They only have moderate climbs for you, because the steam locomotives that were on the routes at the time could not handle large climbs. The engineers therefore smoothed out the landscape. Today, these are the best conditions for pleasant cycling with the whole family.

You can divide the circular tour, which leads along newly paved cycle paths and quiet side roads, into four stages, for example:

Stage 1: from Göpfritz an der Wild to Raabs an der Thaya
Stage 2: from Raabs an der Thaya to Slavonice
Stage 3: from Slavonice to Waidhofen an der Thaya
Stage 4: from Waidhofen an der Thaya to Göpfritz an der Wild

On the former railway line

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Through shady forest and across wide fields and meadows, it goes along the route of the former local train Göpfritz - Raabs. The bike path on this section is flat and nicely paved. It is really fun to cycle.

Beautiful view of Slavonice

Highlight • Viewpoint

From a hill you have a wonderful view of the town of Slavonice and the surrounding landscape. Except for the town, there are only fields as far as the eye can see.

Thayatal Nature Park Dobersberg

Highlight • Natural Monument

The freely accessible Thayatal Nature Park Dobersberg (200 ha) is located in the Waldviertel at the northern bend of the meandering Thaya. It goes through natural riparian forest and cultural landscape in a contrasting mixed situation of forest, meadow and field. The recreational forest area Dobersberg in the protected landscape Dobersberg was opened in June 1982 as "Thayatal-Nature Park Dobersberg". The bearer of the nature park is the club of the same name. The Waldviertler Hochland, where the nature park is located, was created by removing the ancient Bohemian-Herzynian mountain range. This part of the Waldviertel offers the visitor a wealth of newly discovered scenic attractions. The situation of the Waldviertel Thayalandschaft is characterized by foothills of the Montanen zone, Central European lowland zone and Pannonian zone. This causes a variety of flora and fauna.

On today's Thaya cycle tour, we were finally able to truly enjoy and absorb the scenery in the best summer weather, without having to watch the (rain) clouds.
The Thayaland region is impressively characterized by extensive cultivation with colorful fields (grain, corn, potatoes, pumpkins, thistles, sunflowers, flax, poppies) and vast, untouched nature, a paradise for insects and, above all, bees. …

Cool, shady, and absolutely recommended! 😁
Although quite challenging.
