Arrival by public transport – convenient and family-friendly:

The bike tour around Purbach is optimally connected to the public transport network. The Purbach am Neusiedler See station lies on the Vienna – Neusiedl – Eisenstadt – Wulkaprodersdorf railway line and is regularly accessible by regional trains – even on weekends. Bicycle transport is possible on most trains (bike ticket required), and children’s trailers or child bikes can also be transported if there is enough space.

From the station, you can reach the signposted bike route in a few minutes. Since the tour ends again in Purbach – only a few walking or driving minutes from the station – the train is especially suitable for families who want to travel car-free.

During holiday seasons or on weekends, early arrival is recommended as bike spaces on trains are limited. The current timetable information and details on bike transport are provided by the ÖBB app or website.

Parking at Purbach Station – info for families with cars:

Directly at the Purbach am Neusiedler See station, free parking spaces are generally available, suitable for families arriving by car who want to start their bike tour from there. The parking spaces are unguarded but easily accessible and only a few minutes from the station and the bike paths.

Especially on weekends and in good weather, it can get crowded, so it is advisable to arrive early to secure a parking spot.
