Cycling Region Danube Upper Austria
You've never seen the Danube like this before: On 15 circular tours between Schärding and Grein, you not only cycle along the Danube and Inn rivers, but also branch off into the region's surrounding countryside.
On a journey of discovery through the Danube region, you leave a few metres of altitude behind you and are rewarded with fantastic views of the spreading river landscape from the ridges.
So why not leave the Danube Cycle Path and return to the starting point on the Danube via an elevated loop with completely new perspectives?
