The Bucklige Welt, the "land of 1,000 hills" in the Viennese Alps, is only an hour's drive from Vienna and Graz. The Bucklige Welt in Lower Austria is an insider tip for ambitious racing cyclists: little traffic, scenic, challenging and, last but not least, particularly enjoyable. A constant up and down between small villages and orchards - there is something new to discover behind every hilltop!

The Bucklige Welt - the name says it all

The 1,000 hills of the Bucklige Welt offer more than 1,000 tour variants - and that's hardly an exaggeration. Because it's not just the flatlands that are ridden here: The gently rising but consistent undulations of the hilly landscape promise rewarding climbs, rapid descents and fantastic views. The Bucklige Welt is a unique mixture of Alpine foothills and low mountain range - scenic and challenging. You should by no means underestimate the routes, as the constant ups and downs mean that the metres in altitude quickly add up.

In between are idyllic villages, charming inns and numerous fruit orchards, especially apples and pears, which give the region its characteristic flair. To the west, the Wechselgebirge mountains await with challenging climbs and the Semmering with its spectacular railway line - ideal for all those who enjoy a sporty ride.
