A journey through Austria and Hungary

Explore water-rich Central Europe ON EUROVELO 14

The EuroVelo 14 cycling route is about 740 kilometres long and connects the countries of Austria and Hungary. It takes cyclists from Zell am See in the Salzburger Land region through Styria and Burgenland to Lake Balaton and the Budapest area.

The route presented here follows the completed section from Zell am See to Szentgotthard in Hungary: It's a west-east crossing through Austria starting in the Salzburger Land region, continuing through Styria and Burgenland to the Hungarian border town. Of course, cyclists can also follow the route in the opposite direction, as it's signposted in both.

By the way: Running from east to west, the route connects several existing EuroVelo routes. These include EuroVelo 7, EuroVelo 9 and EuroVelo 13. Due to a continuous accompanying railway line, it's perfect for anyone wanting to combine cycling with rail travel.

EuroVelo 14 in Styria in a nutshell

  • starting point: Zell am See
  • end point: Szentgotthard (HU)
  • distance: 438 km
  • stages: 7–8
  • difficulty: easy – medium

Good to know: EuroVelo 14 runs exclusively along existing cycle paths:

  • The cycling route starts in Zell am See. The first section leads cyclists on the Tauern Cycle Path along the Salzach River, before it continues through Rastland Valley to Altenmarkt, where the route merges onto the Enns Cycle Path. Just before Admont, the route switches to the Rastland Cycle Path.
  • The section along the rivers Palten and Liesing to the Mur follows the aforementioned Rastland Cycle Path. In the small village of St. Michael, cyclists continue on the Mur Cycle Path for their onward journey to Graz.
  • After a few kilometres of cycling on the Mostwärts Cycle Path from Graz across the Laßnitzhöhe to Gleisdorf in East Styria, the cycling route continues on the Raabtal Cycle Path. It leads through the Spa Country of Styria to the final destination, the Hungarian-Austrian border town of Szentgotthard. Tip: If you aren't too keen on the climb from Graz to Laßnitzhöhe, you can also take the express train that runs parallel to the cycling route. A possible boarding point is, for instance, Raaba on the outskirts of Graz. From there, you can reach Laßnitzhöhe in just a few minutes – after two stops – on the S3 rapid transit line. Once you arrive, you can continue on the cycling route in the direction of Gleisdorf.
