Blue Danube Cycle to Vienna in Comfort

Cycle past Austrian castles, Benedictine monasteries and ancestral vineyards en route to Vienna. From Germany, follow the Danube eastward into Austria, across the fertile plains of the Wachau Valley, where vineyards climb the slopes to imposing medieval monasteries perched atop hills between Melk and Krems. Wind past castle ruins and apricot orchards before reaching the capital of Austria, where you can take in a performance of the "Blue Danube" waltz, the melody that evokes Vienna the world over.

Highlights

• Cycling along the Danube bike path
• Exploring the three river town of Passau and the majestic city of Vienna
• Experiencing the timelessness of the river landscape
• The abbey at Melk and the Danube loop
• The romantic Wachau Valley

This trip involves 6 days cycling between 40 and 60km / 25 and 37mi per day usually along paved cycle paths across generally flat terrain. The terrain is almost exclusively on the Danube cycle path. In and out of the cities there will be some traffic.
