This leisurely tour along the Bavarian Danube cycle path takes you right across the Free State of Bavaria. On the way, you will encounter historic but very different towns and cities and repeatedly immerse yourself in unspoilt nature. On your way is Ingolstadt. This is where the Bavarian purity law for beer was proclaimed in 1516. Further east, you will visit the Danube breakthrough at Weltenburg before reaching the Gothic Regensburg with its magnificent old town. For the crowning finale of your cycle tour along the Bavarian Danube cycle path, you reach Passau. In the City of Three Rivers, the Inn, Ilz and Danube flow together. On the way there is still enough time to enjoy the beautiful panorama of the Bavarian landscape.

Day 1: Individual arrival in Donauwörth / Wörnitzstein
You start your tour along the Bavarian Danube cycle path in picturesque Donauwörth. The most important trade route between Nuremberg and Augsburg once crossed the Danube in this small town. Today, splendid town houses are a reminder of the town's importance and wealth. You will spend the night in Donauwörth or in the Wörnitzstein suburb. Booked rental bikes are available for you at the hotel.
Day 2: Donauwörth – Ingolstadt, approx. 65 km
Today you will be moving on swiftly. You soon reach the foothills of the Franconian Alb mountains, which liven up the route as you cycle along this gently undulating section of the tour. It’s worth taking a look at Neuburg’s old town, for example the court church or the town theatre. Ingolstadt has a wonderful medieval flair and is known all over the world as the town where Audi manufactures its cars. Visit the Audi museum mobile or wander through the historic city centre.
Day 3: Ingolstadt - Abensberg / Bad Gögging, approx. 40 km
On the Danube cycle path you cycle via Neustadt and through hop fields to Bad Gögging. The spa town is ideal for relaxing. Take a bath in natural moor or thermal water. Or how about a glass of sulphur water? In Abensberg, it's worth climbing the Kuchlbauer Tower. It was designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser and stands on the grounds of a brewery. It can be visited on a guided tour. You will spend the night in Bad Gögging or in Abensberg.
Day 4: Abensberg / Bad Gögging - Regensburg, approx. 55 km + boat trip
Along the Danube you first go to Weltenburg. The oldest monastery brewery in the world is located in the monastery. From Weltenburg you board the boat to Kelheim. Shortly after the start you pass the Danube breakthrough, where the Danube forces its way through steep rock faces. In Kelheim, a visit to the Liberation Hall on the Michelsberg is worthwhile. Regensburg is the northernmost point of the Danube. Stroll through the spacious old town and enjoy a cool beer in one of the cosy beer gardens.
Day 5: Regensburg – Straubing, approx. 55 km
The first stop on today's stage of your tour along the Bavarian Danube cycle path is the Valhalla near Donaustauf. King Ludwig I had this imposing memorial built in the 19th century. After enjoying the view of the Danube and the surrounding area, you cycle to the old ducal town of Straubing, which can look back on Celtic and Roman roots. Straubing's landmark is the almost 70 metre high city tower.
Day 6: Straubing – Deggendorf, approx. 40 km
First you cycle through the small town of Bogen. Visit the pilgrimage church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary on Bogenberg and enjoy the view of the Danube before you cycle via Pfelling and Mariaposching to your destination for the day, Deggendorf. The town is known as the gateway to the Bavarian Forest. Treat yourself to Deggendorf's famous dumplings and explore the old town around the town square and the Old Town Hall.
Day 7: Deggendorf – Passau, approx. 55 km
Today it's time for the final spurt! Your destination, the City of Three Rivers of Passau, offers you a successful conclusion to your tour along the Bavarian Danube cycle path. It looks back on a long history, which can be felt in many corners of the city. On a walk through the city you can enjoy the almost Mediterranean flair of Passau. Visit St. Stephan's Cathedral and the Veste Oberhaus above the Danube.
