A small, easy climb that is not too busy.

A bike ride to the Klangturm (Sound Tower) in St. Pölten is a worthwhile stop on any tour of the city. The 77-meter-high tower in the government district was built in 1996 by architect Ernst Hoffmann and is a striking example of modern architecture in Lower Austria. Its glass, spiral shape evokes movement and sound, which is how the tower got its name. An elevator or stairs lead to the viewing platform, which offers panoramic views of St. Pölten and the Alpine foothills. The ground floor houses a tourist information center, and spacious squares and green areas around the tower invite visitors to linger – ideal for a short break during a bike tour through the city.

Jahos Radler Tränke is great for taking a break.

Always a beautiful sight Good orientation aid

Semi-interesting observation tower in the unfortunately always deserted government quarter. Not even a restaurant open here on the weekend 😞. You can choose between an elevator or lots of stairs. The view is certainly beautiful, on the top floor there are signs on every corner explaining what you can see. Very hot and stuffy up there on a summer's day, the loungers are fun, but nothing invites you to stay. I found the most interesting to see how many solar panels are on the roofs of the quarter. Fingers crossed 👍 for that. Colorfully lit or not, I still don't see the tower as a landmark of the city, and I would still prefer to be able to stroll through the Au, fairground meadow and race track than through this dead concrete desert of the government quarter.

The Ratzersdorfer See in St. Pölten was created in the 1970s as a local recreation area and offers numerous leisure activities. It is an artificially created bathing lake. The sports and leisure facilities include beach volleyball courts, a basketball and football pitch, and a mini golf course. There are restaurants to cater for your physical well-being, and you can take a short break here during your tour. The lake is easily accessible by bike via the Traisental cycle path. Admission is free.

The castle has been owned by the architect Dipl.-Ing. Johannes Baar-Baarenfels since 1971, who has extensively restored it. It is a listed building and today serves as a venue for cultural events. The area around Untergrafendorf offers numerous opportunities for cycling tours and exploring the beautiful landscape. Other attractions are nearby, such as Herzogenburg Abbey and St. Pölten Cathedral.

The St. Pölten Cathedral, officially known as the Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary, is one of the most important sights in the Lower Austrian capital and an impressive example of baroque architecture. Originally, an early Christian church stood on this site. The current cathedral dates back to a Romanesque basilica that was built in the 12th century. In the 17th century, the cathedral was given a baroque makeover by Jakob Prandtauer and Joseph Munggenast. The cathedral has been the cathedral of the diocese of St. Pölten since 1785. A bike tour to the St. Pölten Cathedral can be wonderfully combined with other sights in and around St. Pölten. The Traisen cycle path leads directly through St. Pölten and is an ideal starting point. It runs along the Traisen and offers a pleasant and well-signposted route. Start at the Traisen cycle path, along the route you will find sights such as the modern Landhausviertel, the imposing Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary, the historic town hall square and the baroque Institute of the English Ladies.
