You have 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 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?
Since 2024, the Danube Limes World Heritage Tour from Passau via Schlögen and back has been inviting you on an enjoyable cycle tour along the Danube. Experience the impressive nature and cultural heritage of the region, with the UNESCO World Heritage Danube Limes, in a unique way.
