Donaupark, first, and then towards Mauer

Dato:
06.11.2025
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
12:00t
Distanse:
40,3km

I first biked to Austria Center Vienna for the conference, which I attended during these days. During the lunch break, I made a nice stroll through Donaupark right next to the conference center to catch some fresh air and some late autumn sun. After returning to Wien Landstrasse after the conference, my second goal of the day was to visit the southwest of Vienna. To get there, I biked via Margareten and along Edelsinnstrasse, before crossing over the railtracks for good to continue into the direction of Mauer. On my way back, I followed a similar route, just not descending into Margareten, again, but cycling along Wiedener Hauptstrasse instead. Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Bike excursion to Lobau

Dato:
01.11.2025
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
34,8km

To refresh myself a little (before the next work session), I took the bike and made a quite excursion into Lobau, in the southeast of Vienna. I first biked into Prater and then over the Praterbrücke onto the Donauinsel, where I headed further towards Lobau in southeastern direction. After biking through Ölhafen Lobau, I eventually arrived at the nature reserve of Lobau. There, I explored a few paths, enjoying silence and nice nature. To get back, I took a different route, crossing over the Donau at the power station at Freudenau. This then brought me also to the rather peculiar Pagode right next to the Danube.

Jubiläumswarte and Mahnmal für die Opfer vom Spiegelgrund

Dato:
25.10.2025
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
32,8km

I used my bike to visit the northwest of Vienna, biking first there, before eventually making a round to/from Jubiläumswarte on foot. One the way back, I then passed by the Mahnmal für die Opfer vom Spiegelgrund (memorial commemorating the victims at Spiegelgrund) at night, seeing the 772 steles lit for the first time. Clearly, it is very moving to visit this memorial at night! Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Several other sites, including one at geschichtewiki.wien.gv.at and the one at gedenkstaettesteinhof.at remind of the grim history of Steinhof.

It looked like a promising Saturday and I wished to do another bike-hiking excursion to see a few places that I had not seen so far. I started by cycling via Straume to Søreide and then further into the direction of Lagunen. After cycling around Apeltunvatnet in its south, I connected to Tranevatnet and from there, after passing under E39, along Birkelandsvatnet to Dyngelandsvegen. This road brought me then to Helldal, where I eventually joined Hardangervegen to pass by Grimevatnet and then Søylevatnet. Cycling along this rather much used (and rather narrow) road is not exactly fun for the cyclist and one should only do it, when prepared for a bit of stress. Leaving Hardangervegen, I then continued along Unnelandsvegen, south of Haukelandsvatnet. At Storeklubben, I made my first short >>>

Mixed excursion to Frotveit

Turlengde:

Distanse:
61,0km

Given the nice Saturday, it was just to get some fresh air! I took my bike and started in southern direction. After passing Steinsvik, I then connected to Lagunen. My attempt to continue further towards Nesttun from there, was inhibited by some road work, making me cycle around Apeltunvatnet, instead. From Nesttun, I then connected to Øvsttun, where I explored the highest point. Thereafter, my goal was to bike up to Totland to do some more exploration. I left my bike at the parking lot at the end of Totlandsvegen and ascended to the hill in the west of it. Once up there, I decided that I could simply traverse the heights in order to get via Kollifjellet tp Ytstafjellet. After doing that, I returned via the forest road that apparently is used as a skiing track in winter. Once down to >>>

Vallaheiane via Larsaberget from Tranevatnet

Dato:
11.05.2025
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
40,2km

The main idea was to get some fresh air. I thus took the bike and started with the idea to explore Vallaheiane from Tranevatnet. I first biked south and crossed the partially closed off bridge at Straume. I then continued towards Steinsvik, where I left the "main road" to take a look at Ospåsen, a bit further south. The matter of fact that there's also a golf course in this area does not make getting around easier. Back on my bike, I continued, crossing over Flyplassvegen, to the sports arena next to Grimseidvegen. After a short bio-break at Lagunen, I continued around Apeltunvatnet, then to Iglavatnet, and further to Tranevatnet. I then parked my bike along the gravel road on the south side of Tranevatnet to start my exploration on foot from there. I first found a good way >>>

Nubbevatnet (twice) via Nattlandsfjellet

Dato:
12.04.2025
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
31,3km

We had agreed to make a short hike together, from Nattlandsfjellet to Nubbevatnet. To get there, we took our bikes, first along Nordåsvatnet, then via Paradis up to Nattlandsfjellet. From the parking strip south of Sveane, we then hiked up (via Sveane) and over the long ridge into the direction of Orrehaugane, before then crossing over to Nubbevatnet. At Baunehytten, on the north end of Nubbevatnet, we then enjoyed a nice little break. After enjoying the sun a little, we then walked back towards Ramsdalen and Nattlandsfjellet, following the main route (gravel road southwards, also connecting to Helgeseter). Once back at the parking at Nordre Nattlandsfjellet, we learned that the keys to unlock two of our bike locks weren't with us as expected. After a bit of searching, we thought that >>>

Lauvåsen in Jordalen

Dato:

Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
54,0km

We had discussed a possible hike up to Storsåta, northeast of Jordalen. The first qualification that happened was our decision to approach Jordalen with our bikes. All this worked nicely and smoothely, using the bike-tunnel between Fyllingsdalen and Minde. The next qualification then was to cross over to Munkebotn via Fløyfjellet. After checking out two options to do so that did not work out (at Lappen and Knatten we read that cycling is not allowed on Søre Kamvei!), we took a route up from Skansemyren. Passing by Skomakerdiket, we then quickly crossed over Fløyfjellet before making it further to Storevatnet and then further down to Munkebotn (the descent from Fløyfjellet down to Munkebotn is quite steep, though). At Munkebotsvatnet, we made a short break to enjoy our packed lunch. >>>

Storhelleren/Bjørndalshelleren

Dato:
18.01.2025
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
17,1km

Given a rather wet winter day, we decided to explore a place, which we had on our radar for a while, already: Storhelleren/Bjørndalshelleren near Loddefjord. To add a bit to this plan, we decided to combine this excursion with a bike-trip there and back. After first cycling north on Bjørgeveien into the direction of Loddefjord, we chose to cross the bridge at Hetlevikstraumen and continue to Loddefjord on the west-side of Bjørndalspollen. At Loddefjord, we once again ended up in this dead-end loop for pedestrians at the north end of Bjørndalspollen (without any reasonable option to cross the road over to Loddefjord -- what a city planning mistake?!!). After quickly looping back, we made it onto the road and thus further northwards to the access road for the transformer at Grøvledalen. >>>

Storenuvarden and more

Distanse:
70,6km

Given the nice autumn weather, I made a plan to cycle around Vidden and explore some minor hills along the way. I started by cycling around Nordåsvatnet (in its north), continuing to Paradis. From there, I took the road through Sanddalen to get to the main axis towards Arna from Nesttun. It started in Sanddalen that I understood that this trip will be special, given a chain that had become quite slippery, already -- the relatively steep part upwards on Sandbrekkevegen I already had to push the bike... My first exploration goal of the day was to bike out Hardangervegen right next to the train tracks on the other, southeastern side of Midtunelva. This works, but the path (or better "path") is not really prepared and biking there with a street bike, for example, is not reasonable. >>>
