Reblaus Express bike path

Popis

The bike ride starts in the walled town of Drosendorf along the Reblaus Express railway line. You encounter small villages - picturesque and nestled in the beautiful nature, lush vineyards, and fields. Soon the village of Langau comes into view. A short detour towards the Czech village of Schaffa leads to the mining lakes. As part of the Langau recreational park, numerous leisure activities such as hiking, swimming, or water skiing are offered here. Afterwards, the bike path follows the railway to Hessendorf and through the romantic Fugnitz valley to the villages of Fronsburg, Weitersfeld, Pleißing, and Hofern. Hofern, with only 68 inhabitants, is the smallest village in the municipality of Retz. After refreshing yourself at an idyllic wine tavern, the onward ride is mostly downhill – past the famous Retz windmill – into the center of the wine town of Retz.
