Traisental Cycle Path

<p><strong>From Traismauer on the Danube to St. Pölten</strong></p><p>From the marine port in Traismauer – conveniently directly connected to the Danube Cycle Path – the Traisental Cycle Path runs along the Traisen to Herzogenburg. In St. Andrä, the path crosses over to the other side via a footbridge. It continues along asphalted riverside paths away from traffic towards St. Pölten.</p><p>There are hardly any significant inclines on the entire section, making the first part of the Traisental Cycle Path a great tip for families with children.</p><p><strong>From St. Pölten to Lilienfeld</strong></p><p>On asphalted riverside paths and quiet side roads, the Traisental Cycle Path leads via Wilhelmsburg to Lilienfeld. There are also no major inclines on this section.<br/> </p><p><strong>From Lilienfeld to St. Aegyd am Neuwalde</strong></p><p>From Lilienfeld, the journey goes along idyllic riverside paths via Hohenberg and some gentle climbs to St. Aegyd/Neuwalde. Approximately 200 meters of elevation need to be overcome on the third section, which is still easy even for young cyclists.</p><p>In Freiland, one of the two source streams of the Traisen (the “Rechttraisen” or “Tü rnitzer Traisen”) disappears from the cyclists' view. From now on, the path follows the Unrechttraisen, which accompanies the cyclists until St. Aegyd.</p><p>Tip: The rail trail to Tü rnitz branches off in Freiland and leads for 9 km through three tunnels along the former railway track.<br/> </p><p><strong>From St. Aegyd am Neuwalde to Mariazell</strong></p><p>The next destination is Kernhof with its camel theater and the “white zoo”. In Kernhof, the most difficult section of the entire cycle path begins: the approximately 4 km long, winding climb to the Gscheid just before the border to Styria. This section is challenging and is therefore walked by some cyclists.</p><p>Once the highest point is reached, the route changes from well-paved paths to a less-traveled country road, which leads over Ulreichsberg, past Hubertussee, and along the Walster finally to the destination, the Mariazell Basilica.</p>

<p>Trekking bike, mountain bike, or city bike are recommended; since the path is continuously asphalted, racing bikes can also be used (please keep a compatible speed!)</p>

<p>Arrival to St. Pölten is by private car via the West Autobahn (A1), to Traismauer via the S33 and the S1.</p>
