    Discover the “Land of the Sun”—as Central Burgenland is affectionately known—at its very best! This bike tour is perfect for leisure cyclists on e-bikes, but athletic riders on trekking or road bikes will also get their money’s worth.

    The route runs almost entirely on paved, quiet bike paths and farm roads. It takes you right through the gently rolling wine-growing region of the famous Blaufränkisch country: past idyllic villages, babbling streams, colorful meadows, fields, and shady forests. Numerous renowned wineries invite you to taste fine wines, and rustic wine taverns (Heurigen) are wonderful places to stop for a break. At the Franz Liszt Birthplace Museum in Raiding, you can learn all about the life of the world-famous composer and piano virtuoso. The Flag-Waving and Viticulture Museum in Neckenmarkt, the Pottery Museum in Stoob, the MUBA (Museum of Building Culture) in Neutal, and the traditional Koo Blue-Printing Workshop in Steinberg-Dörfl offer fascinating insights into the region.

    The tour takes you to the Landseer Berge and Geschriebenstein-Írottkő Nature Parks, as well as to the well-known spa town of Lutzmannsburg, right on the Hungarian border. The imposing Lockenhaus Castle—once a refuge for the Knights Templar and the scene of the infamous “Blood Countess’s” activities—is definitely worth a detour.

    Enjoy unforgettable nature experiences, exciting culture, vibrant traditions, and warm hospitality. The quiet and tranquil villages of Central Burgenland make this cycling vacation an absolutely stress-free and relaxing experience.

    Author’s recommendation

    A visit to Lockenhaus Castle, the pottery museum, Blaudruck Koo, and the Liszt Centre as well as the numerous wineries is recommended.

    Safety information

    Since many bike paths are farm roads, you can expect to encounter farm vehicles there. Mutual consideration ensures that these paths remain pleasant for everyone to use.

    In Austria, children up to age 12 are required to wear a bicycle helmet. High-visibility vests are not mandatory at dusk, in the dark, or in poor visibility, but they are certainly beneficial. Click here for the Austrian Bicycle Regulations.
