This was our first cycling holiday and didn’t really know what to expect but we loved it. We felt that it challenged us but was doable and it was great to arrive each night to somewhere new - the hotels were great and we really enjoyed the varying and contrasting experiences of cycling along the Danube making it really difficult to pick out a favourite day or part. The bikes (push) were in good condition and luggage transfer was excellent. There were designated cycling paths virtually the whole way and it was exciting being able to cycle into Vienna. Overall a brilliant holiday which we extended with a night in Munich (booked independently) before hand and an extra night in Vienna at the end (booked through UTracks).
The route from Passau, on Germany's eastern border, to Vienna is one of the most popular cycle paths in Europe, and it's no wonder! This stretch of the Danube carves its way through a thousand years of history; 60 dramatic castles and palaces lie along the river and the ever-changing landscape is a kaleidoscope of fertile plains, narrow gorges, lowland forests, bird-rich marshland and acres of picturesque vines.
