Lake Neusiedl Cycle Path

Austria’s flat and outermost windy side

Unfortunately, there are only a few places where you can get very close to Lake Neusiedl by bike - here in Mörbisch, for example.(Bild: Hannes Wallner)

Burgenland is considered a paradise for cyclists - with hilly vineyards and beautiful nature full of life, especially around Lake Neusiedl. The region can be experienced perfectly in the saddle of a bike - a "Radkrone" test ride.  

Austria is known as a country of mountains, but the Alpine republic can also be different - in Burgenland. My journey of discovery starts in Mörbisch. The 118-kilometre-long Lake Neusiedl Cycle Path lies ahead of me. The 630 Wh battery of my sporty E-Fully, a full-suspension mountain bike, is fully charged. Although this type of e-bike was developed for the mountains, for speedy trail descents, they are popular with many Austrians because the damping ensures comfort and safety during normal cycling.
