Traunuferstraße

Highlight • Cycleway

Wels is the second largest city in Upper Austria, but has retained its idyllic character fully. Especially here along the Traun, a tributary of the Danube, you can enjoy the very special mixture of charming city flair and nature. And, above all, you're out of the city and on wonderful cycling routes: No matter if it's the Roman bike path, the Traun cycle path, the Almtal bike path or the panoramic bike path, a great route leaves the city in every direction. Even in the city itself can be done on marked routes all roads by bike. The professional cyclists also like Wels: Once a year, numerous top stars make their rounds here at the inner-city wheel criterion in summer.

Thalheim (near Wels) Cycle Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This is a modern bridge over the Traun in Wels that is only accessible to pedestrians and cyclists. The bridge was opened in 2014 and connects the districts of Pernau and Thalheim. The bridge has a sloping cable structure with a leaning support, which is an architectural highlight.

Museumssteg Angerlehner

Highlight • Bridge

The new connection between Wels and Thalheim is 3.5 meters wide and 90 meters wide. Bridge builder Erhard Kargel reduced them and designed them with restraint. "It was important to me that the construction follows aesthetic criteria without costing more," emphasizes Kargel. He describes the 15 meter long bridge over the Aiterbach as the "little sister" of the footbridge over the Traun. Pedestrians can now reach the museum from the parking lot in the exhibition center at Welldorado within five minutes. Pedestrians and cyclists are equal users on the new bridge.

Water wheel in the animal park

Highlight • Structure

A beautiful zoo in the heart of the city. Many different animals, all of which are easy to observe. There's also a large children's playground and a cozy snack bar with normal prices. Everything is wheelchair accessible. Admission is free, and parking is available. Perfect for a relaxing afternoon.
