Danube Cycle Path

When cycling along the Danube Cycle Path, you are free. You determine the pace, the route and the destination all by yourself. And everything in between. How nice it is when you even have company: from the mossy-fresh scent of the river on whose banks you are moving, from its quiet murmur and gentle lapping.

Of impressive sights that greet you from afar and invite you to make a stopover. Of unforgettable encounters with people who live and work in this region and give the Danube a face, a voice. And of course of the nature that shows itself and constantly changes along the cycle path. No two sections are alike. Only the river, a constant driving force, remains at our side.

Cycling Region Danube Upper Austria

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