Description

Day 1: Passau
Individual arrival in Passau and accommodation in a hotel. Collection of rented bikes and informational material at the local office; free time for city sightseeing. Passau is located on the border between Germany and Austria, and is known as The city of the three rivers because here the Danube, Inn and Ilz meet. The historic center of Passau is definitely worth a visit: the baroque cathedral with the largest organ in Europe, the town hall, the baroque bishop's residence which houses the Cathedral Treasury. Passau has a very active cultural life full of concerts, operas, theatrical performances and is also a great gastronomic destination with typical restaurants and Bavarian breweries.

Day 2: Passau – Schlögen/surroundings (40 km)
The departure by bike from Passau is very easy: just get down to the river and start pedaling along the paved path. After a few kilometers, stop at Engelhartszell, where you can visit the monastery and taste the liqueurs produced by the monks. Then continue to the famous bend of the Danube, Schlögen Schlinge, which you will cross by ferry (bike inclusive); we recommend you enjoy the view from the panoramic point that offers a breathtaking view of this stretch of the Danube.

Day 3: Schlögen/surroundings – Linz (55 km)
Today, on your bike, you will discover the charming village of Aschach, cross Ottensheim and small towns until you reach the incredible city of Linz. Linz, the capital of Upper Austria, awaits you with its historic center full of monuments, churches, museums and palaces, and of course, a slice of Sacher cake to taste! Upon arrival in Linz you will retrieve your luggage at the indicated hotel, no later than 17:30. Individual departure or possibility to book extra nights in Linz.

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
