B32 Rosalia cycle path

The Rosalia cycle trail is a 58-kilometre circular route that allows you to experience the Rosalia-Kogelberg Nature Park in all its diversity.

This charming circular route is a little challenging for short sections and is therefore particularly popular with e-bikers. Picturesque orchards, strawberry fields, structured hedges, shady forests, gentle hills, chestnut groves and vineyards - this is how you can imagine the Rosalia-Kogelberg Nature Park. The Rosalia cycle path leads right through the middle - very close to the border with Hungary and back - accompanied by magnificent views. You can observe rare birds at the Rohrbach pond meadows, savour the incomparable taste of Wiesen strawberries and Wulkatal prosciutto with fine Rosalia DAC wines and enjoy the breathtaking view from Forchtenstein Castle. In addition to the castle tours, numerous events for young and old are organised throughout the year. There is no chance of boredom on this tour - because you can experience the diversity of the region up close. There is truly enough to see here. Such as the shoe mill and the permanent exhibition "Palace of Justice Fire" in Schattendorf, the Pauline monastery in Baumgarten, the pilgrimage church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary with carillon in Forchtenstein, the Jewish memorial in Mattersburg, the landscape art of Heinz Bruckschwaiger in Sigleß, the sculpture trail by Karl Prantl and international sculptors in Pöttsching and much more. The spa gardens and rosarium in Bad Sauerbrunn, which are particularly beautiful when the roses are in bloom, invite you to stroll and linger. Numerous refreshment stops along the route invite you to eat, drink and rest.

This circuit is somewhat challenging near Wiesen and Forchtenstein. It is asphalted throughout and leads through the Rosalia-Kogelberg Nature Park. Coming from Wiener Neustadt on the B321, it runs via Neudörfl and Bad Sauerbrunn to Wiesen and Forchtenstein. Here you can take a detour to Forchtenstein Castle or cycle to the town centre via the mystical ice ponds. The route continues through Mattersburg to Walbersdorf, then around the Rohrbach pond meadows to Schattendorf, the village on the border with Hungary. From there, if you wish, you can continue to Sopron (Hungary) on the B322 via Agendorf. However, the circular route continues via Baumgarten, Draßburg and Antau to Pöttelsdorf. From there, you cycle back to Bad Sauerbrunn via the R53 connecting cycle path through the marvellous wine-growing areas of Pöttelsdorf and Sigleß. It is 58 kilometres long in total.

Tip: on this cycle route, the bathing lakes in Forchtenstein, Neudörfl and Rohrbach provide refreshment on hot days.
