Linz

Linz sits on the Danube in upper Austria, with the Pöstlingberg hill rising steeply from the city centre — cyclists tackle the 4.6km Pöstlingberg Classic climb regularly, and the surrounding Mühlviertel plateau offers rolling forest terrain ideal for XCO racing like the Rund um den Roadlberg event. Runners find flat riverside courses along the Danube towpath, though the city's real appeal is as a springboard: the TABU-Charityrun and Race Across Austria North-South both use Linz as a hub for longer expeditions into the Alps and northern Austria's hill country.
