Details for: EuroVelo 9: Section Wiener Neustadt - Mönichkirchen

Brief description

This section of the EuroVelo 9 is accompanied by meadows and fields. Always in view: the Vienna Alpine arc. A gently ascending cycle path through the Bucklige Welt to Mönichkirchen.

Description

The section of the EuroVelo 9 that runs through the Vienna Alps is just under 50 kilometers long, but gives a foretaste of the beautiful landscapes this cycle route connects. At the foot of the Bucklige Welt, this route leads from the plain into the alpine landscape of the Wechsel area. 

At the gateway to the Vienna Alpine arc, the section of the EuroVelo 9 begins and directs the visitor's gaze to the varying altitudes, comparable to the greater Alpine arc.
