Up grading of the bycicle route "Dampfross und Drahtesel"

In 2000 the communities of Hagenbrunn, Großebersdorf, Wolkersdorf and Pillichsdorf set up a cycling route alongside an abandoned railwayline between Wien/Stammersdorf and Obersdorf. The ARGE Dampfross & Drahtesel was established and rest areas were built along the tracks. The railway’s history was visualized, as well as the history of the local railway trails.

In 2008 the cycling route was extended; the communities of Großengersdorf, Bockfließ, Strasshof and Deutsch-Wagram were included. In 2016 the community of Gerasdorf was integrated into the ARGE Dampfross & Drahtesel and the cycling route of 50 km length thus completed. Track signs were posted, a website was installed and a flyer was published.

The themed cycling route is particularly significant for cyclists from Vienna who look for leisure and sportive entertainment. It especially addresses families, couples and groups who want to easily reach it by public transport.

Within the scope of this project the cycling route has been modernized with the help of a new overview map, new slides on the historical and touristic information boards, a new folder, an updated website and new photos. As a special highlight a ‚story‘ is told at selected stops, in the form of carefully designed audiobooks that can be listened to via QR code and the website.

The newly created cycling route is intended to represent the whole region as a region designated for cycling, as a starting point for exploring picturesque areas of Marchfeld and Weinviertel.

These activities shall create new offers and set impulses in the field of cycling tourism.
