Vienna Woods Mountain Bike Tour

Meet your guide at Vienna’s Heiligenstadt underground station in the afternoon. Start with an overview on how to operate your electric mountain bike — a bicycle with wide gripped tires for mountain terrain and a motor that takes most of the work out of pedaling. After getting outfitted with your bike and helmet, follow your guide on a 2-hour ride.

Leaving the city behind, head to the Danube canal and then enter the Vienna Woods, the forested highlands that form the northeastern foothills of the Northern Limestone Alps. Ride along a scenic route through thick woods and picturesque vineyards, making several stops to rest and fuel up with your provided water and fruit.

Your guide will tell you stories about the history of the area, notably Kahlenberg mountain. Learn about Kahlenberg's role in the Battle of Vienna in 1683, and ride up to the top of this famous mountain to enjoy fantastic city views.

After your ride, spend the last hour of your tour at an authentic Viennese wine tavern, where you'll enjoy a welcome drink and a snack in the vineyards while admiring views over Vienna.

If you wish, you can choose to stay at the tavern and make your own way back to Vienna; otherwise, your guide will lead you back to the Heiligenstadt station to conclude your tour.
