Seeking sport and culture? Cycling in Austria gives the best of both worlds<br />
Cyclists take a<br />
cultural break at Lentos<br />
art gallery in Linz<br />
Faster than on foot, and yet much<br />
more peaceful than by car – a wonderful<br />
way to discover Austria is on two<br />
wheels. You will have time to appreciate<br />
the most varied landscapes, but also one<br />
cultural site after another – and never<br />
more so than on the sight-seeing cycle<br />
path along the Ringstraße in Vienna, also<br />
called the “Showcase of the Monarchy”.<br />
You can research your route in detail on<br />
the Internet, but impulsive cyclists prefer<br />
to get pedalling and let the surprises<br />
unfold, for example colourful birdlife nesting<br />
in the ring of reeds round Neusiedler See.<br />
The World Heritage cycle path round the<br />
lake goes through nature conservation<br />
areas and other idyllic spots, including<br />
some picturesque vineyards.<br />
You could also cycle from spa town<br />
to spa town, down to southern Styria,<br />
where you can happily stop for refreshment<br />
and something hearty in a wine<br />
tavern – you will have already pedalled off<br />
so many calories. In regard to pedalling:<br />
Even on cycle paths in the mountains you<br />
won’t have to work too hard.<br />
