Day 6 - Grein to Spitz

Another longer leg, about 50 miles. It is hot and humid which makes cycling tiring. The cycle paths seem to go on forever, I read in the guide that the route I am on goes beyond Vienna all the way to Budapest. The towns along the route all cater for cyclists, down to having vending machines with various types of bicycle tyre valves.

Spitz is in the wine-growing region and is surrounded by vineyards. It is close to harvest time and with the weather the way it is, I imagine it could be a good vintage. I am getting a taste for Austrian red wine. They serve it chilled in tall tulip shaped glasses and it is a nice drink after a long cycle.
