Schärding to Vienna

Our popular, easy self-guided Danube Cycle Path Tour offers you a trip on the Danube bike path along the rivers, mostly flat or slightly down hill. You’ll bike a total of 350 kilometers from Schärding to Vienna. Highlights include: visits to wonderful Vienna, the “world capital of classical music”, beautiful Baroque Schärding, historic Linz and Passau, the City of Three Rivers; visits to other charming medieval towns, castles and splendid abbeys and the incomparable Benedictine Monastery in Melk; delightful, flat biking mostly on separate bike paths or on small rural roads through the forested Upper Danube Valley and the scenic vineyards of the Wachau Valley; visit to the unusual “Donauschlinge”, a textbook meander in the Danube River.

Highlights

  • Cycling alongside the famous curves and bends of the Danube river
  • Popping over to Germany for a cup of coffee in a town where three rivers converge
  • Tracing the musical history of master composers Mozart and Bruckner
  • Trying a glass of famous Danube white wine in an old market square
  • Immersing yourself in the artistic history of gorgeous Vienna
