Yes, the Zöbernbach Cycle Route runs with a gentle gradient through Zöbern, Krumbach, Bad Schönau and Kirchschlag in the Bucklige Welt region. It continues all the way to Burgenland. If you wish to reach the cycle path by public transport, you can take the train to Aspang station and from there follow the road to Zöbern – though this section is steeper.

The Schwarzatal Cycle Route begins in Lanzenkirchen in the northern, flatter part of the Bucklige Welt and then leads via Neunkirchen and Gloggnitz into the neighbouring Semmering-Rax region.

EuroVelo 9 also crosses the Bucklige Welt. This international cycle route can, for example, be started in Wiener Neustadt and then runs on flat terrain along the River Pitten through the Bucklige Welt, before continuing from Aspang with steeper gradients towards Styria. This cycle route leads all the way to the Adriatic Sea.

Among road cyclists, the Bucklige Welt is still something of an insider’s tip. The network of quiet, tarmac-surfaced roads is extensive and winds its way through small villages, which have a few real gems to offer, such as fortified churches or excellent inns. The terrain is very hilly, with the route constantly taking you up and down hills, making it easy to rack up the altitude.
