You will cycle along the river Inn to the three river city, Passau. Here, we recommend a short city tour or a visit to the cathedral, where you can listen to the largest church organ in the world. Then, you will continue your journey along the Danube via Obernzell to Engelhartszell (the only Trappist monastery in Austria) and further through the nature reserve Donauleiten.

You reach the Schlögener Schlinge (river bend) on the northern side. Here, the granite has proved to be an insurmountable opponent, forcing the Danube to change direction by 180 degrees. While a ferry takes you (to be paid for on site) to the other bank, you have time to admire this natural phenomenon. According to the motto: "It all begins in Linz", the numerous pubs in the historic old town are the perfect place to stop for a bite to eat.

On the fourth day, you will take a little detour away from the course of the Danube to Enns. In Enns, you can go to the town square with its 60 metre town tower, which is the landmark of the oldest town in Austria. Alternatively, you can visit the archaeological collection in the municipal museum Lauriacum. In the beautiful baroque town of Grein you will have the opportunity to get an impression of the oldest still performing city theatre in Austria. Additionally, you can visit the maritime museum or Greinburg castle.

The Strudengau – once feared by the sailors – is now awaiting the cyclists. Where once the currents of the Danube had to be fought against, it is now possible to cycle comfortably along. In Maria Taferl and Melk you can see magnificent churches located high above the Danube, which attract thousands of visitors each year.

Hotel (example):

Goldenes Schiff Spitz

You will continue your tour to the 1,000-year-old town of Krems. On the way, the monastery Göttweig, located high above the Danube, leads the way to the flowery city of Tulln.

Your tour ends in the Danube metropolis of Vienna. Don’t forget to visit the “Wurstelprater”, the vibrant entertainment area of Vienna’s Prater and experience its positive mood. In the famous “Schweizerhaus” restaurant you can enjoy a piece of “Stelze” (knuckle of pork), gaining energy for further explorations of the city.
