Tulln - Korneuburg - Vienna
Route description:
In Tulln you should definitely visit the Egon Schiele Museum on Donaulände. It features oil paintings, watercolors and drawings that this fin de siècle artist did as a child and adolescent. The Egon Schiele birthplace is at the train station. Right at the beginning of your tour you cross the Tulln bridge over the Danube to get to the other side. There you rid along the Danube Bike Path toward Vienna through the unspoiled nature of Gemeindeau until just before the Greifenstein power station. You follow the road to the left and then bear to the right again shortly thereafter to return to the banks of the Danube.
Just before Korneuburg, the trail branches off to the left. You follow the street “Zum Scheibenstand” and turn right onto Werftstrasse. Alternatively, you can also go straight here and explore the distinctly Gothic historical center of Korneuburg. From there it is not far to Vienna. In fact, you can already see part of its skyline. At the end of Werftstrasse, you bear left and then right again, continuing on Donaustrasse until arriving at Einlaufbauwerk Langenzersdorf, the first of the three weirs in the New Danube. You cross the bridge to the Danube Island and follow the path to the Nordbrücke (bridge), which is your destination for the day. After this tiring stage, a piece of a Sacher Torte (cake) in a cozy Vienna Cafe will have never tasted better.
