Why not indulge in a comfortable cruise down the Danube on a bike? We’re convinced that this classic cycle route has to be one of the best in Europe. The magical meanders, the valley itself and the vineyards make for the most impressive and inspiringscenery. Start in Germany and head into Austria : Passau, Linz and Vienna are packed full of rich cultural offerings and with Richard the Lionhart’s Schloss Durnstein and the amazing monastery at Melk along the route, variety is firmly on the agenda. The cycling is mainly traffic-free and bike ferries allow you to skip between the paths on both sides of the famous river. And if you fancy a day out of the saddle, that’s no problem thanks to the numerous boats and river-hugging, cycle-friendly railway.
The hotels are very comfortable (all 4 star). Most hotels have saunas and many have swimming pools. Some hotels also offer the option of a relaxing massage - something else to look forward at the end of the day as well as a cold beer, glass of local wine and a guilt free pastry.
