The path to Austria
The Austrian border os approximately 3-4km from Novy Most, the distinctive grey bridge with a restaurant over the Danube. Although most sensibly cycle to the border, it is possible to walk to the border. It takes 20 minutes by bike and 60 minutes by foot. Many Slovaks frequently pass through this border to visit Vienna 40 km away.
I managed to walk over the border to a place called Hainburg, which is approximately 12km away. Hainburg is a beautiful town that is often overlooked by many who drive straight to Vienna. Dating from the 12th Century, Hainburg boasts a castle around 400 metres above sea level and a historic centre. It is a part of the Donau Auen National Park that stretches all the way to Vienna.
