Germany & Austria - Danube - 10 Day Cycling Holiday

Our Danube cycle holiday from Passau in Germany to Vienna in Austria is a cycling classic and an ideal way to see this beautiful region, and what’s more it’s downstream all the way!

Starting in a deep valley with craggy outcroppings topped with the ruins of ancient castles, you’ll soon see the hills turn to the rolling vineyards of the Wachau region, dotted with the characteristic medieval towns. As the river widens the landscape alters. Flat pastures spread to the horizons, and you’ll meander your way through farms and villages. It’s a scenic cycling route, paved and mostly traffic-free, following an old tow path where teams of horses once pulled barges up this majestic river.

We end the cycling holiday in the renowned Austrian capital, Vienna and with all the major sights accessible by bike it couldn’t be easier.

This is an excellent cycling holiday for mellow ‘peddlers’ and families with children, with children’s bikes, seats and trailers available.

If pushed for time we also offer an 8 day option and there is even the possibility to shorten some of the day’s riding, by boarding one of the trains or boats catering for bicycles.
