3.0 - Average

Our trip started off rough. Our bikes were located at a different hotel than our reservations, so our map did not show the appropriate start site. Historic rainfall in the Salzburg area caused severe flooding of our mapped out self guided bike routes.

4.0 - Very Good

A very interesting 6 day trip down the Danube. Very easy cycling (apart from one day). Journey takes you through a good mix of towns, villages, country side and forest while basically following the river.
