Bicycle bus & taxi
Mobility along the Ybbstal Cycle Path
A cycling trip on the Ybbstal Cycle Path does not only offer fun and exercise - it can also be tailored to individual time schedules and stamina.
Bicycle bus (Radtramper-Bus)
Important: Short tour on the Radtramper 656 Ybbstal
on 17 and 18 August 2026
Due to a road closure on the B31, the Radtramper 656 service will operate a shortened route on 17 August 2026 and 18 August 2026 between Waidhofen/Ybbs and Hollenstein/Ybbs and back. The stops at Kogelsbach, Göstling and Lunz am See will not be served on either of these days.
Furthermore, the Amstetten–Waidhofen/Ybbs rail service ("Rudolfsbahn") is expected to operate as a rail replacement bus service from 17 August to 5 September 2026. Bicycles cannot be carried on the rail replacement buses.
The bicycle bus (VOR bus line 656) is a convenient alternative to be picked up along the Ybbstal Cycle Path, when you're on a time crunch or your stamina has reached its limit.
The bus drives from May 1st until October 26th 2026 every Saturday, Sunday and on Lower Austrian public holidays between Waidhofen an der Ybbs and Lunz am See.
During the Lower Austrian summer holidays the bus drives daily from Waidhofen to Lunz. On operation days the bus passes following bus stops:
- Waidhofen an der Ybbs / Bahnhof (Südtiroler Platz 1)
- Gstadt/Ybbsitzer Straße
- Opponitz / Busbahnhof
- Hollenstein an der Ybbs / Feuerwehr
- St. Georgen/Reith Dorf (only during noon)
- Kogelsbach Ybbsbrücke
- Göstling an der Ybbs / Rathaus
- Lunz am See / Friedhof / B25

Ybbstal bicycle taxi
This is a great opportunity for smaller groups of at least 4 people.

Within 2 hours of booking the taxi from one of our two taxi partner companies will arrive to pick up the cyclists. Up to 16 bikes can be transported.
A minimum occupancy of 4 people (€ 100,-) must be paid per bus trip. Each additional person costs € 25,- per person and bike. In addition, the bike taxi drives selected routes to connection points (Amstetten, Scheibbs, Ybbs, Mariazell).

A tip for cycling groups with fewer than four people: Please ask our bike taxi partners whether there are still individual places available on trips that have already been booked!
