A welcome rest stop at the beginning of the Marchfeld Canal.

The Marchfeld Canal Cycle Path is a well-developed and popular cycling route in eastern Vienna and the adjacent Lower Austria. It runs largely directly alongside the canal and offers a consistently flat route, making it particularly suitable for everyday cyclists, families, and leisure tours. The car-free route along the canal ensures a quiet and low-traffic environment. It is bordered by green spaces, waterways, and agricultural landscapes, making it a pleasant option even on warm days. The Marchfeld Canal is an artificial waterway constructed in the 1980s and 1990s. Its primary purpose is to irrigate the intensively farmed Marchfeld region, replenish groundwater, and provide flood protection. In addition, the canal improves the local climate and creates valuable habitats for plants and animals.

Gravel paradise, fine gravel, long straights, exciting curves.

The Pied Piper Fountain in Korneuburg, located on the main square in front of the town hall, was erected in 1898 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I. It was designed by Max Kropf, and the statue of the Pied Piper is by the sculptor Emanuel Pendl. The fountain is made of white Kaiserstein and commemorates the local Pied Piper legend: A mysterious minstrel is said to have freed the town from a rat plague in 1646, but was only inadequately rewarded by the city fathers, whereupon he carried off the town's children. Today, the fountain is an important monument and cultural symbol of Korneuburg, as well as a popular photo opportunity for locals and visitors.

Korneuburg's town hall, located on the main square, is a neo-Gothic building constructed in 1894/95 according to plans by the architect Max Kropf. The medieval town tower from the 15th century, which originally served as a fire and enemy signaling tower, was incorporated into the new building and is now a landmark of the town. The town hall serves not only as an administrative center but also as a cultural meeting place, with a wedding hall for up to 26 people and a ballroom for up to 120 people, which is used for weddings and events. The building also houses the restaurant "Das Rathaus – Restaurant, Café & Bar," which offers classic Viennese dishes, seasonal and international specialties. Its outdoor garden makes it a popular meeting place for locals and visitors, especially during the warmer months.

The "Zum Weißen Rössl" inn in Korneuburg was a traditional inn with a long gastronomic history. The building, a late historicist house with an onion dome, was rebuilt in 1903 after a major fire and today houses the Korneuburg Town Hall and the Grünzweig Café (ice cream parlor). A popular eatery, formerly known as the Wiener Rössel, it now offers a wide selection of homemade ice cream, including vegan options, as well as paninis, burgers, salads, and coffee. The café features indoor and outdoor seating, modern furnishings, and is a popular meeting place for both locals and visitors. It is open year-round, but opening hours vary depending on the season.

Korneuburg's Town Tower is a historic landmark of the town. It was built between 1440 and 1447 above the chancel of the former St. Nicholas Church and originally served as a watchtower to protect the town fortifications under Duke Albrecht V. During the Thirty Years' War in 1646, the tower was heavily damaged. At the end of the 19th century, it underwent extensive restoration, which included historicizing changes. In 1894/95, it was integrated into the neo-Gothic town hall according to plans by the architect Max Kropf. With a height of 47 meters and 128 steps leading up to the observation platform, the tower today offers visitors an impressive view of Korneuburg and the surrounding area. A red chalk inscription was found inside, presumably documenting the year of construction in 1445. Today, the town tower is part of the town's cultural life, hosting events such as the Town Tower Run.

Korneuburg's main square is the historic heart of the town and a worthwhile stop on a bike tour. Dominating the square is the neo-Gothic town hall, into which the medieval town tower has been incorporated. In front of the building, the Pied Piper Fountain commemorates the Korneuburg legend, and the 18th-century Holy Trinity Column features saints and reliefs from regional history. Surrounded by historic buildings such as the Town Hall, the Bankmann House, and the Bogner House, the square offers a lively insight into the town's architecture and history. Numerous cafés and shops invite you to linger before the tour continues.
