The Danube cycle route Passau - Vienna is considered the father of all long-distance cycle routes in Europe. Flat and away from traffic, you will experience graceful landscapes from narrow valleys to the expanses of the National Park Donau-Auen. Monasteries, castles, palaces and baroque towns line the way. This is the right vacation mix. Tips for a cozy stop at a typical Austrian Heurigen (wine tavern) or in a Viennese coffee house are available on board.
