E-bike tour along the former Iron Curtain

In the past, barbed wire separated Austria and the Czech Republic – today, a shared bike path connects the two national parks, following the former route of the "Iron Curtain."

This attractive round tour allows sporty e-bikers, led by National Park Ranger Hannes Reiser, to immerse themselves in the shady forests of the Thaya Valley and leads high up into sunny, warm cultural and natural landscapes: from heathland to expansive fields, past picturesque vineyards, and historical buildings such as the ruins of Neuhäusl, bunkers, and a last piece of the Iron Curtain. The tour is crowned with impressive views of the Thaya Valley!
