Ybbstal Bike Trail
Saturday - June 20th 2026
Our second day started with an early breakfast, because due to the heat we
wanted to hit the road early. Once we checked out and left Amstetten behind we
followed the river Ybbs through the gentle Mostviertel
landscape with scenic views and quiet forest areas. Luckily it wasn't
very warm yet and so we were quite fast and reached Waidhofen an der Ybbs
before noon. There we stopped at Rothschild Castle, the main attraction of
this small city and then we searched for a supermarket to get some snacks and drinks for lunch. Just outside of Waidhofen we found a nice spot and enjoyed
our drinks.

| Taking a Break |
The second part of our route between Waidhofen and der Ybbs and Lunz am
See is the heart of the entire bike trail, because the riverside
cycle path built on the former Ybbstalbahn railway line runs very close
to the Ybbs, passing beautiful old bridges, tunnels and scenic riverbanks
with nice rest areas. In Hollenstein we took a break and ate our lunch
snacks before continuing our cycling tour towards Kogelsbach, where we stopped
at
Käfers am Radweg, a lovely coffee house built into the old railway station. There we got some
cold drinks and enjoyed some ice cream. During the last stretch we were
suprised by a thunderstorm and had to wait a couple of minutes under a tree
until the rain passed. In the afternoon we finally arrived in Lunz am See and
after visiting Lake Lunz we headed to our bed and breakfast named
Paula's Pension. There we refreshed before getting dinner at the
Treffpunkt Wildnis restaurant. Claudia and I both had a pizza and a
couple of drinks before returning to the bed and breakfast.
