The Greiner Straße (B 119) is a country road in Austria . It has a length of 82 km and initially leads from Amstetten to the eponymous town of Grein on the Danube . From here it continues its way through the Mühlviertel to St. Georgen am Walde , before it leads through the Waldviertel . Here the Greiner Straße runs over Groß Gerungs to Weitra , where it ends at the foot of the Gratzener Bergland on Gmünder Straße (B 41) .

particularities

This route is famous above all because of the very winding section between Grein and Dimbach, a route that motorcyclists love to ride in summer. There have already been numerous serious accidents with motorcyclists in this section, whereupon a speed limit of 70 km / h has been issued on this section of the route, exclusively for motorcycles.

history

The road from Grein to the Lower Austrian border has been known as Marchsteiner Strasse since 1932 . It replaced the St. Georgen-Dimbacher Bezirksstrasse , which had been run as a Bezirksstrasse since 1866 and ended in St. Nikola on the Danube .

The Ardagger Straße between Amstetten and the banks of the Danube near Tiefenbach has been part of the network of federal highways in Austria since April 1, 1959 . It ended at the cable ferry near Grein, which was opened to traffic in May 1858 and replaced by a road bridge on September 24, 1967.

The entire stretch of Greiner Strasse between Weitra and Oiden has only been part of the network of federal roads in Austria since January 1, 1972 .
