Donaupark, first, and then towards Mauer

Datum:
06.11.2025
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour gemischt
Tourlänge:
12:00h
Entfernung:
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

Datum:
01.11.2025
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour gemischt
Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
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

Datum:
25.10.2025
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour gemischt
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
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.

Back to Austria via Sella Nevea (from Moggio)

Datum:
22.10.2025
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
7:30h
Entfernung:
75,3km

The plan for the fourth (and last) day of our four-days bike ride through the Julian Alps was to bike back to Austria from Moggio. Again, we started relatively early in Moggio to have enough time for the roughly 75km back (including the Selle Nevea mountain pass). This time, we were updated enough to understand that parallel to the main road (SS13) through the valley of Fiume Fella one can find the Alpe-Adri cycling path, which is using an abandoned train line! Using this cycling path, we nicely made it to Chiusaforte without any road stress! :-) Also, we could enjoy some nice sights along the way, including Ponte Peraria and several tall waterfalls. In Chiusaforte, we then said "Good bye!" to the cycling path and entered Val Raccolana towards Sella Nevea further in the east. While it was not raining, the clouds were >>>

Through Val Resia to Moggio (from Bovec)

Datum:
21.10.2025
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
6:00h
Entfernung:
46,0km

The plan for the third day of our four-days bike ride through the Julian Alps was to bike from Bovec to Moggio di Sotto via Val Resia. The weather forecast predicted rain throughout the day and it was right: it rained continuously. We first biked from Bovec down to Žaga, where we turned towards the west (and upwards again). Following the very nice mountain road towards the border between Slovenia and Italy, we enjoyed the fact that hardly any cars were on the same street. Instead, we got to see several fire salamanders that likely enjoyed the rain! :-) Before actually crossing over the border, we had to get over a small prelude saddle (where previously the Slovenian border control was?). From there, it was then a short stretch down to (and over) the Učja river. Once on the other, northern side, we eventually crossed the border >>>

Up to the Mangart saddle, from/to Bovec

Datum:
20.10.2025
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
7:00h
Entfernung:
53,4km

The idea for the second day of our four-days bike ride through the Julian Alps was to ascend to Mangart from Bovec and then return back to Bovec. The weather report was not 100% promising, predicting rain for the afternoon. It was very clear to us that attempting a very steep mountain road in wet and cold conditions would not be wise at all. To thus account for the weather uncertainy, we also had made a backup plan: ride up to Predel, instead, and then back to Bovec from there. We started from Bovec at around 8h30 and quickly hit the road northwards. Soon we passed the junction, where one could follow the road through the Soča valley, eventually up to Vršič, which we had come down the day before. This day, we instead continued further upwards into the Koritnica valley. A bit more than 4km into our ride, we then inspected Fort >>>

From Erlendorf to Bovec via Wurzenpaß and Vršič

Datum:
19.10.2025
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
7:00h
Entfernung:
60,5km

On the first (first real) day of our four-days bike ride through the Julian Alps , we aimed at biking from Erlendorf to Bovec over Wurzenpaß and Vršič. Starting at about 8h30 in the morning in Erlendorf, we headed for the street that leads up to Wurzenpaß immediately. After only about half a kilometer, it became clear that cycling up to Wurzenpaß would be harder than originally anticipated (the rather naive, initial idea was that Wurzenpaß would serve as a quick and not-too-hard warm-up exercise before going for the real pass over Vršič). Even though it was "only" about 500 height meters up from Erlendorf, the challenge was in the slopes, which topped out at about 18% (very steep for cycling indeed)! On Wurzenpaß, we stopped to look at an old tank right next to the road, which reminds visitors of WWII and the time >>>

Erlendorf-Arnoldstein and back

Datum:
18.10.2025
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
13,8km

On the eve of our four-days bike ride through the Julian Alps , we arrived rather late in Erlendorf. To fill up some energy, not at the least for the coming day, we cycled over to Arnoldstein for some nice dinner. This short evening ride also served well as a test of the rental bike, which one of us had to use for these days. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

94,7km

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

Tourlänge:

Entfernung:
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 >>>
