Bicycling

Cyclists appreciate the relatively level terrain around Linz, and within the city there are 200 kilometers (125 miles) of marked cycle routes. Cycling at slow speeds is also allowed in the city's pedestrian zones. The international Donauradweg, or Danube Cycling Path, runs from Germany through Linz and to the Black Sea.
