Today marks the start of the Austria-wide campaign to encourage all families to pedal more often - including a competition with lots of great prizes.

Let's go! Simply register with "Österreich radelt", download the app and collect certain locations while cycling. From today until September 12, day-trippers can cycle to selected locations throughout Austria as part of the "Burgenland Cycles Summer Cycling" campaign and, with a bit of luck, win great prizes.

Many more places to cycle

Between Neusiedl am See in the north and Jennersdorf in the south of the province, the number of "Sommerradeln" locations has tripled from 30 to 90 this season compared to 2023. Almost all lakeside and outdoor pools are listed alongside many other attractive destinations. These include the lighthouse in Podersdorf, Lackenbach Castle, Sonnentherme Lutzmannsburg and Weinblick am Eisenberg.

The Familypark is an excursion destination that can be reached quickly and in a CO2-friendly way by bike, especially for families from the surrounding area. We are therefore particularly pleased to be fully involved in the campaign.

Familypark as a meeting point

A new meeting point is at the Familypark in St. Margarethen. "Families who come by bike can park their bikes conveniently and safely at the entrance. Charging stations for e-bikes are also available," it says. The motto "Cycle to the spa" is intended to motivate people to pedal more often.

Tempting prizes

If you visit three or more "Sommerradeln" locations, you can win one of 50 prizes. Anyone who has collected five locations will be entered into the draw for the main prizes - a Burgenland voucher worth 200 euros and five Burgenland cycling jerseys. In addition, there are various bikes, hotel vouchers and exciting books to be won throughout the country. The overview with all locations: burgenland.radelt.at/dashboard/routes/challenge/406

Everyone benefits

"In addition to improving the cycling infrastructure, we want to gradually make Burgenland the number one cycling state," announces Sports Councillor Heinrich Dorner. "Cycling is already one of the most popular activities among holidaymakers in Burgenland. With this campaign, we want to get even more people excited about this meaningful leisure sport," says Didi Tunkel, Managing Director of Burgenland-Tourismus GmbH.
