Discover the multitude of public open spaces that have been established, and step into the numerous restaurants to take a well-deserved break wherethe snacks for cyclists taste particularly good.
On to the Wienerwald Biosphere Reserve
Humans and nature are in perfect harmony with each other at the Wienerwald Biosphere Reserve – and that is both correct and important! After all, neither can function in the other’s absence. More and more people are being drawn into the great outdoors. It is regarded as imperative to protect and preserve the natural environment. By following the fair play rules, every mountain biker can contribute to the existence of a sustainable recreation space and a sustainable living space.
By the way, there are seven mountain bike routes that link Vienna to the Vienna Woods. All of these routes take environmental protection goals such as the preservation of rare animals and plants into account.
Winter dormancy
Due to the responsibility that has to be borne vis-a-vis the natural environment in the Wienerwald Biosphere Reserve and the important forestry work that needs to be done, the mountain biking season ends at the end of October. The landowners, local authorities and Wienerwald Tourismus GmbH do not allow the established mountain biking routes to be used from November to February. The contractual partners shall assume no liability for any potential incidents that may take place during this time.
