Cycling fun for everyone

Breitenbrunn is ideally located for cyclists of all levels and is situated both on the B10 "Neusiedlersee-cycle path" and the B12 "Kirschblüten (Cherry blossom panorama) cycle path". The cultural route connects the two cycle paths and thus leads to the sights in the town center.

From here, sports enthusiasts can enjoy day tours of up to 135 km and a 1,000 km network of cycle paths.

The "World Heritage Double Eight", a combination of the B10 and B12, offers a varied opportunity for all those who want to cycle through the nature and culture of the World Heritage Nature Park and explore all 5 Nature Park communities. New in all 5 locations of the World Heritage Nature Park are the cultural cycle routes, which connect the two cycle paths and take cyclists to the historic town centers.

Guests who arrive without a bike can rent a bike at one of the 3 following bike rental stations: train station, main square, or the lake resort. Or, from April 1^st to October 31^st at the bicycle rental station Ernst Holek in Winden am See, Bahnstraße 2, only 1km away.
