CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
From Weinzierl bei Krems it runs 317 km to Weinzierl bei Krems; allow about 4 h 26 of riding. The stops in between: Klosterneuburg - Kastell und Vicus, Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape and back through Klosterneuburg - Kastell und Vicus. It crosses from Austria into Czechia - carry ID and check vignette or toll rules. It was put together for the scenery rather than the shortest line.
Speed drops and stays down. Park rather than crawl through. 76 km through ground somebody thought worth listing. The road passes it rather than bypassing it.
In the fifth century, as Roman authority along the Danube collapsed, a holy man named Severinus lived at a place called Favianis, organising food supplies, ransoming captives and negotiating with barbarian kings on behalf of the remaining Roman population. His biography, written by his disciple Eugippius, is one of the most vivid accounts of the end of Roman rule in central Europe, and Favianis is generally identified with Mautern, a small town on the south bank of the Danube opposite Krems. The Roman fort here, parts of which survive in the town walls, is part of the Danube Limes World Heritage listing.

Mautern - Kastell Ostbereich is where the day begins. Next is Klosterneuburg - Kastell und Vicus.
Klosterneuburg Abbey rises on a terrace above the Danube just north of Vienna, its baroque domes topped with an imperial crown and an archducal hat, and few visitors realise that beneath its walls lie the remains of a Roman fort. The Romans guarded this stretch of the Danube frontier, the Limes, with a chain of forts, and Klosterneuburg's position on a hill overlooking the river made it an obvious choice. The fort and the civil settlement around it are part of the UNESCO site of the Danube Limes, inscribed in 2021.

Klosterneuburg - Kastell und Vicus comes up 77 km in. Next is Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape.
The Lednice-Valtice landscape is what happens when a very rich family decides to make a whole district into a garden. For centuries the Liechtenstein dynasty owned this corner of southern Moravia, near the border with Austria, and from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century they reshaped it, planting woods, digging ponds and building follies, until castles, parks, canals and farmland were composed into one huge designed scene about two hundred square kilometres in area. UNESCO listed it as a cultural landscape in 1996.
