Biking from Salzburg to Wien 3: Wachau-Wien

Date:
16.08.1996
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
6:00h
Distance:
107.8km

Since I had made it already to Wachau on the day before, the remaining stretch to Wien was quite doable on this day (altogether about 120km along the Donau-river). In total, from Wien to Salzburg and back, this summed up to more than 800km on the bike and about 37h of biking, excluding breaks, etc. More details about the entire bike-trip are available via a separate web page . Route details about four longer bike rides in/near the Alps are summarized on a separate web page . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Biking from Salzburg to Wien 2: Steinbach-Wachau

Date:
15.08.1996
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
10:15h
Distance:
203.6km

After two extra days at Attersee, I finally decided to leave the Salzkammergut and cycle to Vienna, making good distances where possible. Starting in Steinbach am Attersee at about 8am in the morning, I arrived in Weissenkirchen near Wels at about 11:20 (about 74km from Steinbach). Without much delay, I continued further and arrived near Linz at about 1pm (a bit above 100km from Steinbach). Eventually, I made it to Wachau, altogether, accumulating about 200km of cycling on this day (in a little above 10h). Clearly, I tested my limits with this attempt to get as close to Wien as possible. More details about the entire bike-trip are available via a separate web page .

Biking from Salzburg to Wien 1: Salzburg-Steinbach

Date:
12.08.1996
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
6:00h
Distance:
101.6km

After some nice time in Salzburg, I then started my bike-trip home (from Salzburg to Wien). On the first day, I "just" made it to Attersee, but enjoyed a few extra-turns to see some more places in the particularly nice Salzkammergut, east of Salzburg. After about 115km of cycling, I then came to Steinbach am Attersee, where I stayed for two more days to enjoy the lake and its surrounding a bit further.

Wien-Salzburg per bike 3: Schwanenstadt-Salzburg

Date:
09.08.1996
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
7:00h
Distance:
112.3km

I started day 3 of this multi-day bike trip in Schwanenstadt, heading towards the nice Salzkammergut. My first target on this day was the lake Attersee and I approached it from its northern side, surrounding Seewalchen in the north and getting close to the lake at about Nussdorf am Attersee (on the western side of the lake). After having cycled along the lake until Unterach, I crossed over to Mondsee, another very nice lake in Salzkammergut. Then, and instead of choosing the shortest path towards Salzburg, I decided to also visit Irrsee, i.e., the third lake along this ride through Salzkammergut. From there, I then changed towards a route, which would bring me to Salzburg in a rather straight-forward way, passing by Wallersee, i.e., the fourth lake to see on this day. Eventually, after >>>

Wien-Salzburg per bike 2: Gottsdorf-Schwanenstadt

Date:
08.08.1996
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
11:45h
Distance:
141.0km

I started day 2 of this multi-day bike trip near Ybbs at the Donau, heading further "upstream" along the Donau. Already early on this day, I came through the nice Strudengau, before coming "back" into a somewhat more open countryside near Wallsee. After some 60km of cycling, I arrived in Mauthausen at about 11:30 taking some extra time at this history-laden(!) place. Back on my bike, I left the Donau not far from Mauthausen and continued along the Traun in southwestern direction. Quite a bit later in the afternoon, I then arrived in Wels for another break. Even later, after also about 150km of cycling on this day, I stopped in Schwanenstadt for the night. More details about the entire bike-trip are available via a separate web page .

Wien-Salzburg per bike 1: Wien-Gottsdorf

Date:
07.08.1996
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
7:45h
Distance:
146.9km

This longer (several days long) bike trip started in Wien and "upstream" along the Donau (the first stretch was along the Donaukanal until I came to the Donau in the north of Wien. From there, I followed the Donau for a long stretch, first in northern direction, changing more and more into a western direction, arriving in Greifenstein and then in Tulln about 90 minutes after the start in Wien. Continuing further (on the southern side of the Donau), I passed by the never really operated nuclear power plant in Zwentendorf before cycling further. A little more than 3 hours after starting in Wien, I arrived in Traismauer for a first substantial break. From there, my trip brought me further to Krems and Wachau, where I changed to cycle on the northern side of the Donau. I crossed >>>
