    The B63 orchard meadow bike path is more than just a bike path – it is a journey through time in the original South Burgenland, where nature still sets the pace and the landscape tells stories.

    Over about 40 kilometers, this circular route gently winds through the gentle rolling hills, past old farmhouses, fragrant orchards, charming cellar districts, and venerable orchard meadows, which are now rarely found.

    Some of these trees are over 100 years old – silent witnesses to a rural culture that lived in rhythm with the seasons and knew the value of every fruit.

    Whether as a leisurely day trip with the family or as a conscious break from the fast pace of everyday life: the B63 invites you to pause. Especially in spring, when the fruit trees are in full bloom, or in autumn, when apples, pears, and plums are ripe for harvest, the route unfolds its very special charm.

    And those with an attentive eye will also discover rare plants, buzzing wild bees, and perhaps even a hoopoe – the secret king of the orchard meadow – along the way.

    Author’s recommendation

    Good resting opportunity after about 10 km at the Rauchwart bathing lake and leisure center or after the first climb in the Rohrer Moor nature reserve (inn directly on the bike path and entrance to the moor trail).

    Safety information

    Since many bike paths are agricultural access roads, agricultural traffic can be expected. Mutual consideration ensures that these paths remain pleasant and usable for everyone.

    In Austria, wearing a bicycle helmet is mandatory for children up to 12 years old. Safety vests are not mandatory at dusk, in darkness, or in poor visibility, but are definitely an advantage. Here is the link to the Austrian bicycle regulations.

    Roadbook

    From Stegersbach, the path follows the Strembach southwards to the Rauchwart bathing lake. From there, a short climb leads to Rohr/Bgld and then another climb into the Lafnitz valley. Upstream along the Lafnitz river, the path extends to Wörth – after another short climb, the route mostly gently descends over Stinatz and Ollersdorf back to Stegersbach.
