Relaxed spring opening bike tour to the western end of the Donauinsel

Spring Kickoff Ride:

Let’s welcome the new season with a friendly, no-pressure group ride for all levels. We’ll begin with a quick intro, then roll out on a scenic, completly flat route—perfect for easing back in after the winter.

Donauinsel upstream (south bank):

From the starting point, we cycle onto the Donauinsel and follow the cycle path upstream in a westerly direction. The route leads along the south bank of the Donauinsel, which is characterized by its quiet and green surroundings. Here we can enjoy nature as we cycle parallel to the Neue Donau.

West end of the Donauinsel (Langenzersdorf):

After about 10 kilometers, we reach the western end of the Donauinsel, which is located near Langenzersdorf. Here we take a short break of a few minutes, enjoy the view of the Danube and fortify ourselves for the return journey.

Return via the north bank:

For the return journey, we switch to the north bank of the Donauinsel. The cycle path takes us back downstream towards Kaisermühlen. This route offers a different perspective of the Danube and the surrounding landscape.

Arrival at the starting point:

After a total of around 20 kilometers, we arrive back at the starting point at the "Fahrradverleih Copa Beach".

Lunch afterwards:

If we are in the mood for it we can have dinner together at the greek restaurant "Rembetiko" https://www.rembetiko.at/restaurants/donauinsel nearby the meeting point afterwards.

Tour highlights:

• The idyllic nature of the Donauinsel with its extensive green spaces.
• The view of the Danube and the surrounding countryside.
• A relaxed and well-maintained cycle route that is ideal for leisure cyclists.
• Lunch at a greek restaurant.

We look forward to good conversations, fresh spring air, and a relaxed start to the cycling season!

The meeting point is north of the danube right next to the "Fahrradverleih Copa Beach".
