The bike tour in the Wachau has a lot to offer. Enjoy a week in one of the most beautiful regions of Austria. The first days you stay in Krems and explore the region from there. You cycle along the three rivers Danube, Kamp and Traisen and encounter the baroque old town of St. Pölten, the magnificent Benedictine abbey Stift Melk, the Renaissance castle Rosenburg and the Roman town of Tulln. The region is also internationally renowned for its wines. After a tour through the breathtaking landscape with its numerous vineyards and orchards, you should definitely stop at a typical Austrian wine tavern. Here, the winegrowers pour their wine directly in the winery! The last two nights you will spend in Vienna and get to know the city during a discovery tour. The bike tour in the Wachau is perfect for pleasure cyclists who don't like to pack their bags every day and want to explore the region without any hustle and bustle.

Day 1: Individual arrival in Krems
The starting point of your bike tour in the Wachau is Krems – the 1000-year-old town on the Danube. If you still feel the need for exercise after your arrival, an evening stroll through the town is a good idea. If you want to warm up for the next few days, a short bike ride to Göttweig Abbey is also a good idea. Spend the evening comfortably in one of the numerous restaurants.
Day 2: Krems - St. Pölten - Krems, approx. 40 km + train ride
Your first bike tour in the Wachau begins with a relaxing train ride to the Lower Austrian capital St. Pölten - one of the oldest cities in Austria. Plan enough time to explore the baroque old town. Along the Traisental cycle path, the cycle tour takes you through varied landscapes in the Mostviertel. Via Herzogenburg you reach Traismauer, from where you cycle along the Danube back to Krems.
Day 3: Krems - Melk - Krems, approx. 40 km + boat trip
In the morning it's time to cast off! From Krems, you will take a leisurely cruise on the Danube to Melk, where you will visit the magnificent Benedictine Abbey of Melk Abbey. You should not miss out on an extensive stroll through the town either. On the Danube Cycle Path you cycle leisurely through the breathtaking landscape of the Wachau - orchards and vineyards as far as the eye can see. In Weißenkirchen, take the opportunity to taste wines from the region before heading back to Krems. Cheers!
Day 4: Krems - Rosenburg - Krems, approx. 40 km + train ride
Today's stage of the bike tour in the Wachau first takes you by train to Rosenburg. You should not miss a detour to the Renaissance castle there. First built as a castle around 1150, it was largely demolished in the 16th century and rebuilt on the same site as a castle with 13 towers. After the Traisen and the Danube, today you cycle along the Kamp back to Krems. Langenlois, the largest wine town in Austria, is perfect for another stop.
Day 5: Krems - Tulln - Vienna, approx. 40 km + train ride
You leave the rural region of the Wachau towards the imperial city of Vienna. First, start the day with a short train ride from Krems to the Roman town of Tulln. Visit the Egon Schiele Museum and learn about the city's most famous painter. On the Danube Cycle Path you will reach Vienna in a relaxed manner. During an evening stroll through the city, you can explore the first monuments of the historic old town.
Day 6: Excursion to the Weinviertel, approx. 40 km or explore Vienna by bike, approx. 25 km
On your last cycling day you are spoilt for choice. Would you like to escape the big city once more? No problem! The neighbouring Weinviertel is ideal for a circular tour. Alternatively, you can explore the Austrian capital by bike. You should definitely see the Cathedral Church of St. Stephen, the Schönbrunn and Belvedere palaces, the Hofburg or the Prater. Don't miss out on a piece of Sacher cake in one of the typical Viennese coffee houses.
