St. Andrä am Zicksee is a holiday paradise for both nature lovers and cyclists. In this Collection, we present four wonderful day rides that are steeped in history and magnificent landscapes around Lake Neusiedl in Burgenland in Austria and the Hungarian lowlands.
There is a lot to discover around Lake Neusiedl such as the Seewinkel National Park on the shore of the salt lakes and far-reaching history and culture. Numerous buildings and monuments tell the story of the Iron Curtain which separated Europe along the Austrian-Hungarian border during the Cold War.
The town of St. Andrä am Zicksee is an ideal starting point for your rides in the Pannonian Lowlands. Located between the idyllic lake and the wide steppe, you can find plenty of accommodation here such as a campsite on the shore of Lake Zicksee. Although the routes start a little way away from the village, you can easily reach them by public transport or bike from St. Andrä.
All routes can be completed within a day and some of the shorter ones are suitable for the whole family. You can also easily shorten the routes or combine them together to suit you – just take a look at the map. A particular highlight is the Iron Curtain Trail which follows the Austrian-Hungarian border for almost 186 miles (300 km). In this Collection, we’ve outlined the route in one go so you can choose how to split it into stages. We also included some tips on which sections are suitable for day trips in the stage description.
To make the most of your time around St. Andrä, we recommend the Neusiedler See Card which offers free use of public transport, free admission to museums and nature parks, as well as admission to the numerous beach and resorts around Lake Neusiedl. The best thing is that you receive the Neusiedler See Card for free when you stay at one of over 800 partner establishments.
Top tip for nature lovers: You can spot many rare animals that live around Lake Zicksee from the cycle paths. Hobby ornithologists can look out for many bird species such as Siberian greyland geese and the hoopoe. On the lakeside, you can take a detour to meet the curious and friendly gophers. With a little patience, these small rodents will come right up to you if you bring a piece of fruit.

De Kulturradweg is een gemoedelijke dagtocht die ondanks de iets meer dan 30 kilometer toch vrij ongecompliceerd is om met kinderen te doen - dankzij het vlakke routeprofiel. De start is in Gols, dat vanuit St. Andrä gemakkelijk per trein of fiets te bereiken is.
Vanaf hier gaat het eerst noordwaarts…
De Lackenradweg is ook ideaal voor een dagtocht, waardoor je genoeg tijd hebt om de natuur op de Salzlacken en rond de oever van het meer te bewonderen of gewoon je benen te strekken. Nogmaals, je moet zeker een verrekijker meenemen als je die hebt.
De tour start in Podersdorf am See, omdat het een rondreis…
If you have enough time in your luggage and enough strength in your calves, the Iron Curtain Trail is of course a very special gem among the bike paths in Burgenland.
