    This cycle route on the western shore of Lake Neusiedl connects some of the most beautiful towns of Burgenland and combines cultural highlights with appealing wine and culinary experiences. Along the way, you will encounter the picturesque old town of Rust with its baroque townhouses, get a behind-the-scenes look in the festival venues of Mörbisch am See and St. Margarethen, and admire the magnificent Esterházy Castle in the Haydn metropolis Eisenstadt. Gourmet delights tempt at Taubenkobel in Schützen, at the Wine Academy Rust, and in the castle wine shop Eisenstadt. Quiet culture lovers will likely enjoy alternatives – for example, the program at Cselley Mill Oslip or the "Platz der Freiheit" (Place of Freedom), which once wrote European history.

    Safety information

    Since many cycle paths are agricultural roads, expect agricultural traffic there. Mutual consideration ensures that these paths remain pleasant for everyone to use.

    Austria: A bicycle helmet is mandatory for children up to 12 years old. Safety vests are not mandatory at dusk, in darkness, or poor visibility but are certainly advantageous. Here is the Austrian bicycle regulation.

    Slovakia: Bicycle helmets are mandatory for all children under 15 years. For adults, helmets are only mandatory outside urban areas. However, it is strongly recommended that adults always wear a bicycle helmet. Cyclists riding on the road edge under reduced visibility must wear visible signaling elements or a safety vest.

    Hungary: There is no helmet obligation for cyclists. The maximum speed for cyclists outside built-up areas is 40 km/h. A speed of 50 km/h is allowed if the cyclist wears a helmet. At night and in poor visibility, all cyclists must wear a safety vest.

     

    Travel documents: A valid identity card or passport is mandatory!
