Description

Day 1: Passau

Individual arrival in Passau, known as the city of 3 rivers, where Danube, Inn, and Ilz meet. After settling into the hotel, delivery of bicycles (if rented) and free time to visit the city.

Day 2: Passau - Schlögener Schlinge (40 km)

Your journey starts in Passau, where the magnificent Upper Danube Valley awaits you, a route that will guide you to the surprising Schlögener Schlinge. A moment of tranquility awaits you at Engelhartszell: visit the serene Trappist monastery and indulge in the refined liquors produced by the monks, a taste that tells stories of tradition and dedication. Your adventure then continues towards the Schlögen Bend, the famous bend in the Danube, where the rock forced the river to reverse its direction by 180°.

Day 3: Schlögener Schlinge - Linz (55 km)

Today, you will leave behind the hills wrapped in lush woods and forests, to immerse yourself in the lush region of the Eferdinger basin. This landscape is characterized by its gently rolling hills, which harmoniously alternate with picturesque villages. Your day concludes in Linz, the vibrant capital of Upper Austria. The ancient heart of the city welcomes you with a mosaic of historical monuments, imposing churches, culture-rich museums, and elegant buildings.

Day 4: Linz - Grein (60 km)

Today's stage will take you to discover Linz and then Strudengau. You will then resume your journey along the Danube, heading towards the picturesque Grein. This Baroque city will welcome you with its charming main square, adorned by historic houses with small turrets, and the elegant Rococo Theater, a wooden architectural jewel, carefully preserved within the town hall.

Day 5: Grein - Wachau Valley (70 km)

After breakfast, departure by bike through the impressive landscapes of Strudengau and Nibelungengau, traveling a stretch of the Danube characterized by a narrow valley framed by towering rock walls up to 400 meters high. Above you, the remnants of Struden Castle, witnesses of a rich and mysterious past, dominate the scene. Continuing, your journey will take you to the enchanting Wachau Valley, famous for its terraced vineyards that stand out harmoniously on the slopes, and picturesque villages. The route culminates in Melk, a memorable stop marked by the presence of the majestic Benedictine abbey. This masterpiece of Austrian Baroque art stands imposingly on a rocky spur, overlooking the Danube.

Day 6: Wachau Valley - Traismauer (40 km)

Today's stage will take you through a series of picturesque villages, each with its own charm. You will start with Weißenkirchen, then continue towards Spitz, where we suggest you take a relaxing walk to discover its hidden corners and welcoming atmosphere. After Spitz, the adventure continues to Dürnstein, famous for its picturesque ruins and historical castle. The day concludes in Traismauer. Here, you will have the opportunity to unwind in traditional taverns, immersing yourself in local specialties and savoring fine wines, the fruit of the land, and the passionate work of winemakers.

Day 7: Traismauer - Vienna (70 km)

You will follow one of the most famous stretches of the Danube cycling path, which will take you to Vienna, the Austrian capital that embodies imperial elegance, cultural richness, and love for music.

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.

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.).
