Make sure to leave enough time for a wander around the historic city and to visit Mozart’s birthplace.

You will leisurely cycle along the Inn cycle path to the gothic town of Braunau. Along the way you will see many bird colonies nesting close to the river banks.

Some guests will stay in Bad Füssing, which is a spa town.

You continue along the Inn river, which the famous Reichersberg abbey lies next to. In Schärding make sure to take a break at baroque market square before reaching Passau, today’s destination. In Passau a three rivers cruise would most certainly be a fitting end to your cycle tour.
