Cycle bridge over the Traisen near Traismauer

Highlight • Bridge

Good thing, not only the local population benefits from the new connection over the Traisen. This connection between the Danube and Traisen Valley cycle paths is also a helpful improvement for cyclists on long-distance cycle paths.

Roman Gate (Vienna Gate), Traismauer

Highlight • Historical Site

The landmark of the town of Traismauer is the Roman Gate, also known as the Vienna Gate. The Vienna or Roman Gate in its current form dates back to the 16th or 17th century. Remains of the late antique east gate have been preserved up to the second floor. The medieval gate tower in the middle is flanked by two slightly lower horseshoe towers.

Nice little town worth seeing. Traismauer is a town with around 6,500 inhabitants in the Sankt Pölten-Land district. It's worth a detour! 🚴🏻‍♂️

Highlight • Historical Site

Traismauer is located in the lowest Traisental in Lower Austria. The area of the municipality covers 43.14 square kilometers, 28.14 percent is forested. The community has shares in the Wagram south of the Danube.
In ancient times the area was part of the province of Noricum and the location of the Augustianis equestrian fort. Traismauer was first mentioned in a document in 799 as Tresma. After the conquest of the Avars Empire by Emperor Charlemagne, the place in the new Bavarian Ostland became the seat of the border count Cadaloc, who fell in the course of the last battles against the Avars in 802 at Castell Guntio. Count Cadaloc was buried in the Church of St. Ruprecht in Traismauer. In 833 the Slav prince Pribina was baptized in the village. During this time, Traismauer was the center of the Carolingian county between Enns and the Vienna Woods and the seat of civil and ecclesiastical administration. On November 20, 860, the place came to the archbishopric of Salzburg through a large land donation from King Ludwig the German, where Traismauer remained until 1803.

According to the Nibelungen saga, the king's daughter Kriemhild stayed there before she met King Etzel. Around 1250, during the interregnum, Traismauer was heavily devastated by robber barons. In 1458 the place of Emperor Friedrich III. Market rights were granted, in 1517 the market was given the coat of arms by Archbishop Leonhard von Keutschach. In the 16th century, Traismauer had its own jurisdiction. The first school building was completed in 1555. Around 1810 the final version of the Traismaurer Nativity Play was created by the Scheibl family. In 1868 Franz Matthias Miller expanded a mill into a steelworks, and further industrial plants were founded. In 1885 the Tulln - St.Pölten railway line on Traismauer was opened. The town was raised in 1958.

Danube cycle path at the barrage

Highlight • Cycleway

Beautiful cycle path on the Danube 💦 before turning right into the town of Traismauer. 🚴🏻‍♂️ The water surface of the Danube is almost as smooth as glass on this section, because in the storage area of the Altenwörth power plant the Danube flows very slowly. Nice to look at, a beautiful view.
