Promotion of Cycling, Riding, and Hiking Trails

Promotion of cycling, riding, and hiking trails in Burgenland grants financial subsidies to clubs, associations, and interest groups for the expansion and maintenance of publicly accessible paths. With a funding rate of 50%, all expenses from printing costs to graphic design services, as well as infrastructure measures, signage, and GPS systems, are covered. Trail usage fees and expert fees are also eligible costs. Applications can be submitted continuously until the available budget is fully exhausted, without a predetermined deadline. The financial support is aimed not only at leisure and tourism but also strengthens regional development, infrastructure and urban planning, as well as agriculture and rural development.

Interested organizations from Burgenland, whose headquarters or area of activity is in the region, benefit from a straightforward application process: an informal request is sufficient to receive funding. The funds contribute to the creation of attractive mobility offers, increase sports and recreational potential, and improve signage and safety along the routes. Thus, the program makes a valuable contribution to sustainable regional development and underscores the importance of healthy living environments for all participants.
