Did you know that the Danube Cycle Path could take you to eight countries if you cycled it completely? On this tour for the whole family, however, we stick to Austria. Numerous attractions await on the route from Linz to Vienna, which will not only make the kids happy. Treat yourself to this travel highlight together with your loved ones. All cycling tours in Austria at a glance.
From Linz the first stage leads directly to Austria’s oldest city: Enns. After some swimming fun and action on the Roman circular route, you go via Grein and the so-called ‘Strudengau’ to Marbach. On these stages, the Danube Cycle Path is lined with attractions that will delight the whole family.
Next you cycle comfortably through the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Wachau, one of the most beautiful river valleys in Europe. Melk, Dürnstein, Spitz and Krems are waiting for your visit, the routes here can be shortened by boat. The final stage ends in Vienna – but first have a Sachertorte and a mélange.
A cycle tour along the Austrian Danube Cycle Path is ideal for families. You don’t have to share the path with cars and the route is extremely flat. The 20 to 40-kilometre-long stages leave enough time to explore and enjoy!
The capital of Upper Austria welcomes you. Take a leisurely stroll through the amazing historic centre, watch the animals in Linz Zoo or visit one of the exciting museums, for instance the ‚Ars Electronica Center‘, the ‚Museum for the Futurue‘! There you get to experiment, research and test. Rental bikes (if you booked any) are ready for you in the hotel.

Fire-spitting dragons, gnomes and witches – are all still tob e found in the ‚Grottenbahn on Mount Pöstlingberg! We highly recommend you plan a visit there before embarking on your cycling tour. You leisurely cycle out of the city always along the river Danube. Past the local recreation area Lake Pleschinger See featuring playgrounds and a bathing place as houses become fewer and fewer and instead you experience more and more nature. Lake Ausee would be a great opportunity for a break, since the Aqua Park with slides, climbing towers and slip&slide running areas simply crank up the fun-factor. Then onwards slightly off the course of the river Danube you continue as far as Enns.
Hotel example: Hotel Zum Goldenen Schiff
Here in Austria’s oldest town you get to visit the Roman Circular Path, enjoy a waterpark featuring a 65 meter long slide or take a stroll through the castle grounds. Then you return to the Danube riverbank and continue along the wonderfully flat Danube-cycle path across the idyllic scenery of the ‚Machland‘. En route to Grein the next highlight awaits: the outdoor museum Celtic Village in Mitterkirchen. Experience Austria’s prehistory during a walk through the Celtic Village.
Hotel example: Gasthof Zur Donaubrücke
Grein has always been referred to as ‚the Pearl of the Strudengau-region‘. It was the final secure docking possibility for ships before hitting the dangerous eddies (‚Struden‘) of the Strudengau-region. Here, ships were often unloaded before they made their way through this dangerous passage. This was all part of what made Grein such an enchanting town as it is today – and also offers a climbing gym and public outdoor swimming pool. From this point onwards the Danube river valley narrows and displays now the fascinating spots of the Strudengau-region all the way to your Day Finish Marbach.
Hotel example: Wachauerhof Marbach
Enjoy a brilliant breakfast and then lounge around in the Nibelungenbad-pool of Marbach: a cycling holiday in Austria can be so much fun! From Maria Taferl the view onto the blue Danube is particularly stunning. Today you only cycle for a few kilometres until you reach the Wachau region. Just the name makes everyone’s mouth water! For as colourful the surroundings of the Wachau region, as diverse are also the delicious regional natural products such as apricots and apples. The Wachau-region offers delicious regional cuisine on the hightest level for the whole family and at great value!
Hotel example: Wachauerhof Melk
Melk - the gateway to the Wachau! A visit to the monumental Benedictine monastery is simply almost a must. Then your tour continues just as the whim takes you: are you taking a break from cycling and instead embark on a fun boat trip to Krems or do you fancy disembarking the boat earlier, in Spitz or Dürnstein, and cycle the final kilometres? Alternatively, do you prefer to cycle the entire route to Krems? One way or another, a varied scenery, lovingly laid out vineyards and vast plains await you!
Hotel example: Gasthof Klinglhuber
During the first few kilometres you enjoy a leisurely train journey to Tulln from where you start your final cycling stage to Vienna. The feeling is simply overwhelming, when you cycle the final kilometres across the ‚Danube Island‘ reaching the end of the holiday in Austria’s capital. And finally the moment is here: a visit to the Prater in Vienna, featuring a haunted house, a wax museum and the probably most renowned Ferris wheel in the whole world, awaits the entire family. But also a stroll along ‚Mariahilfer Straße‘, a break in one of the numerous cafés and some time spent in the zoo ‚Schönbrunn‘ would be nice. Vienna in itself is a unique, magnificent highlight!

The terrain along the river Danube is flat or slightly downhill, you cycle neary all the way on a well-maintained cycle path without any motor-driven traffic. Only on very short section do you cycle on side roads. This cycle path is a prime example for the perfect cycle path!
