Cherry Blossom Cycle Path (Kirschblütenradweg)

Highlight • Cycleway

A great tour around the lake with beautiful scenery, virtually no traffic, plenty of places to stop for refreshments, and a ferry ride – definitely an experience. Some gravel roads, very fine white gravel, and lots of asphalt.

We liked the second part better. The weather was overcast and very windy. 95% of the route was on tarmac, always off-road through fields. Only in Weiden and Podersdorf can you get to the lake, and it's beautiful.

Today's 🚲 tour took us to Lake Neusiedl. Unfortunately, due to the weather, we were unable to get on our 🚲s for the first time. I'm not really suited to touring here in Ötzi Land. My favorite trails are "forbidden" for bikers... a shame, really, because this area is simply wonderfully dotted with not-so-high ⛰️.
