On the “Uhudler Cycle Path”—as the name suggests—you cycle through the heart of Uhudler country and charming countryside.

The Uhudler Cycling Loop takes you on a varied route through the heart of the Uhudler region, connecting idyllic landscapes, small villages, and scenic hills in southern Burgenland. The route winds through forests and past vineyards and orchards, partly along the Lafnitz River and mostly through gently rolling terrain.

The loop offers both athletic challenges and numerous beautiful scenic views. Particularly charming are the sections along the Lafnitz floodplains and across the scenic highlands around the Hochkogl, the Rosenberg, and the Hamerlberg.
