This bike tour through the Wachau has a lot to offer. Enjoy a week in one of the most beautiful regions in Austria. Spend the first few days 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 of Melk Abbey, the Renaissance Rosenburg Castle 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 off at a typical Austrian Heurigen. Here, the winegrowers serve their wine directly at the winery! Spend the last two nights in Vienna and get to know the city on a discovery tour. A bike tour through the Wachau is perfect for leisure cyclists who don't like to pack their bags every day and want to explore the region without the hustle and bustle.

Day 1: Individual arrival in Krems
The starting point of your bike tour through 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 cycle tour to Göttweig Abbey is also worthwhile. Spend the evening relaxing in one of the many restaurants.Day 2: Krems - St. Pölten - Krems, approx. 40 km + train ride
Your first cycle tour in the Wachau begins with a relaxing train ride to the Lower Austrian capital of St. Pölten,
one of the oldest cities in Austria. Allow enough time to explore the baroque old town. The cycle tour takes you along the Traisental cycle path through varied landscapes in the Mostviertel region. 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 set sail: From Krems, take a leisurely cruise on the Danube to Melk, where you can visit the magnificent Benedictine abbey of Melk. You shouldn't miss out on an extensive stroll through the town either. On the Danube Cycle Route, you cycle leisurely through the breathtaking landscape of the Wachau – orchards and vineyards as far as the eye can see. Take the opportunity to taste wines from the region in Weißenkirchen before returning to Krems. Cheers!
Day 4: Krems - Rosenburg - Krems, approx. 45 km + train ride
Today's stage of the bike tour through the Wachau first takes you by train to Rosenburg. You should definitely not miss out on a detour to the Renaissance castle there. Originally 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 rivers Traisen and the Danube, today you cycle along the Kamp back to Krems. Langenlois, the largest wine town in Austria, is the perfect place to make another stop.
Day 5: Krems - Tulln – Vienna, approx. 40 km + train ride
You leave the rural region of the Wachau in the direction of the imperial city of Vienna. First, you start the day with a short train ride from Krems to the Roman city Tulln. Visit the Egon Schiele Museum there and learn about the town's most famous painter. The Danube Cycle Route takes you to 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 day of cycling, you are spoiled for choice. Would you like to escape the big city once again? No problem! The neighboring Weinviertel region is ideal for a round trip. Alternatively, you can explore the Austrian capital by bike. You should definitely see St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Schönbrunn and Belvedere palaces, the Hofburg and the Prater. Don't miss out on a slice of Sacher Cake in one of the typical Viennese coffee houses.
