Muse Kisses from the Vienna Woods

The "Klöster Kaiser Künstler” (monastery imperial artist) tour offers one inspiration after another for cyclists with an affinity for art and culture.

Why is it so good? "Art is beautiful, but it takes a lot of work."Fortunately, cycling doesn't cause so much work and is just as beautiful - especially when you encounter art and culture along the way, as in the Vienna Woods. Why cycling and art go so well together in this region was revealed to us by art collector and cycling aficionado Axel Nemetz from the "At the Park" hotel in Baden. Felix Schneider, founder of Bike-Schneiderei, explains the value of repair. And then we have 10 insider tips for you along the route. With art, but without much work, of course.
