EuroVelo 14 Waters of Central Europe

EuroVelo 14 connects well-known riverside cycle paths, such as the Tauern, the Enns and the Mur providing a journey through all of Austria‘s landscapes.

The start is in the world-famous Zell am See, which has a high-frequency train station with very good connections to Salzburg. Here the route follows the Tauern cycle path eastwards through Taxenbach to St. Johann in Salzburg and towards Bischofshofen, then continuing through the Fritz valley in the direction of the Enns cycle path.

From Altenmarkt-Zauchensee you cycle via Radstadt with stunning views of the Dachstein, and downstream to Schladming where you connect with the famous Enns cycle path. Here, you can make a short detour to Admont and its famous monastery, as well as the small neighbouring town of Selzthal. From Selzthal you cycle along the Rastland cycle path to St. Michael in Upper Styria, where you change to the Mur cycle path. This takes you downstream through small villages and historic towns such as Leoben and Bruck an der Mur, in the direction of Graz.

Graz, which is both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a UNESCO City of design, is worth more than just a stopover. On the west side of Graz, the design district boasts the futuristic “Kunsthaus” museum. From there, the old town of Graz is a short distance across the River Mur, where you can find a 10th century hill-top castle at Schlossberg. From Graz you take the Mostwärts cycle path over Laßnitzhöhe to Gleisdorf, where you change to the Raabtal cycle path. Culinary manufacturies, vinyards, romantic villages as well as small towns such as Gleisdorf or Feldbach are your companions here.

Finally, the route crosses through southern Burgenland, just a few kilometres from the border of Hungary and the town of Szentgotthard. Here, EuroVelo 14 runs via Balaton and Budapest to Debrecen.
