Cycling through the Weinviertel
The Weinviertel region is located in the northeastern corner of Austria, with easy access to the capital, Vienna. It’s ideal for gentle ebiking with plenty of rolling hills, acres of farmland, vineyards, and charming villages. Despite the name, it is not just about the wine — this area is steeped in farming traditions, with fields full of crops like sugar beets, sunflowers, wheat, and pumpkins.
Ebike battery fires and the media
the media has reported an increase in the number of ebike battery fires. Lithium-ion batteries, commonly used in ebikes, electric scooters, and other personal mobility devices, are suggested to be the cause of the fires.
Alpe Adria – Alps to Adriatic
One of the most loved bike paths in Europe is the Alpe-Adria. The variety of scenery you will experience is vast from the beautiful city of Salzburg through the Alps into Italy and down the warm waters of the Adriatic Sea. But why stick strictly to the path when you can spice things up with a detour to one of Slovenia’s most beautiful wine regions?
Dürnstein, Wachau
The Danube bike path between Passau & Vienna is very popular with cyclists in summer, and one of my favourite areas on the route is the Wachau. This beautiful wine area is also famous for its apricots, and all sorts of products are made from them. I tried to sample a few of them, such as marmalade, cake, strüdel, dumplings, or just fresh off the tree.
Things to do around Lake Bled
This iconic lake is easily recognisable and has been photographed millions of times from all angles. It is easy to see why the lake and the surrounding area so enthral people.
