Light MTB/Gravel loop on the Bisamberg

Light MTB/Gravel loop on the Bisamberg. We start at the Steinitzsteg on the Donauinsel, ride upstream to the island’s northern end, and switch to the north bank. Through Langenzersdorf we continue toward the Bisamberg. The climb follows forest roads and wide hiking paths. At Elisabethhöhe (about 360m elevation) we take a short break. We then descend on alternative forest roads and wide paths, use side streets through Langenzersdorf to reach the north side of the Donauradweg, and close the loop back at the Steinitzsteg.
