Switchback climb

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The climb from the Sieghartskirchner side is easy, flat and nice to drive. It always takes a curve longer than expected and if you quickly get into the bottom - at least for me - it becomes a real incline.

Riederberg Serpentines

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Curvy section of the Riederberg leads along the Gablitzbach back towards the city. Speeds of over 60 km / h make the brake shoes glow!

A very nice descent from Eilandberg to Sieghartskirchen. A pleasant gradient, even uphill, allows for a quick ride.

There are many beautiful routes over the Vienna Woods hills to the Tullnerfeld. This one is the least recommendable one for me: a lot of traffic, which usually thunders past you quickly on the straight stretch and too narrowly when there is oncoming traffic, several trucks... Nope. Then rather Passauerhof or Königstetten or Irenental or Rauchengern or Geigelberg etc.

Easy climb, but you have to expect traffic, after all you are driving along the federal highway 1/

A couple of really nice switchbacks. The traffic just sucks. Switching to the Passauerhof (north) is a good alternative.

The gradient here briefly reaches 11.6%. So pedal hard :) Right at the top of the Tulbinger Kogel is the Leopold-Figl lookout. It offers a wonderful view over the Tullnerfeld. You can't quite get to the lookout on a racing bike. The road that connects the Passauerhof with the Mauerbach valley reaches its highest point at the Berghotel Tulbingerkogel a few meters below. The rest of the way to the lookout has to be covered over gravel and forest paths. The view over the Tullnerfeld from below at the pass is just as beautiful as it is from above. The sunsets in particular have a certain magic on the Tulbinger. The pass can be combined well with the Passauerhof or with Scheiblinstein. But the Riederberghöhe, the short but steep Flachberg, the Exelberg or the Sophienalpe are also not far away.

The inconspicuous Rauchgern pass connects Tullnerbach (St. Pölten district) on the one hand with Sieghartskirchen (Tulln district). Rauchgern itself is a district of Pressbaum with a few houses. It is particularly popular due to its proximity to Vienna and for circumnavigating the northern Vienna Woods. The driveways are beautiful, but unspectacular. There's even a bit of a view here and there. A classic roller mountain. Northwest driveway from Rappoltenkirchen: In Rappoltenkirchen we keep on the L 123 in the direction of Vienna and Pressbaum. Shortly after the Tirolersiedlung (approx. Two kilometers after the end of Rappoltenkirchen), the actual ascent begins after a slight intermediate descent. After a few meters you will pass the Gasthof In der Au. After a prominent bend, it goes evenly, gently rising towards the apex South-east driveway from Untertullnerbach: In Untertullnerbach we keep in the direction of Irenental. Under the tracks it goes along the Tullnerbach slightly uphill through the deciduous forest. After about two kilometers the forest clears and you pass the place Irenental. After leaving the village, the Ameisberg settlement is a little steeper uphill. And then the fun is actually over again. The last kilometer is flat. South-east driveway from Tullnerbach: In Tullnerbach we take the underpass onto the L 123 (Weidlingbachstraße) in the direction of Rappoltenkirchen and Sieghartskirchen. After 2.5 kilometers we go through two hairpin bends. After that, the apex is already reached.
