Back to nature by bike. But then back to the hotel? Not on this trip! From Passau to Vienna you cycle along the Danube and always spend your family cycling vacation on a farm. The farmers are still active, so you will encounter a wide variety of animals, but you will also have discovered the joy of accommodation. Get up in the morning to freshly baked bread and try homemade jam and handmade cheese, which you certainly won't find in the supermarket. On the day's stages, the Danube is the main focus. At the end you will reach the capital of Austria and go home with the feeling of having experienced something very special, something not everyday.

Day 1: Individual arrival in Passau
Three rivers from three directions meet in Passau: Danube, Inn and Ilz. But it is not only because of this unique spectacle that you should arrive early for your family cycling vacation along the Austrian Danube between Passau and Vienna. Discover the baroque old town in the centre of which is St. Stephan's Cathedral. The view of the city from the fortress is unique.
Day 2: Passau - Feldkirchen on the Danube, approx. 55 km + boat trip
In the Three Rivers City you will now meet the Danube as well as the Ilz, which you will follow all the way to the Austrian capital. Shortly before Schlögen you will pass through the Donauschlinge, an incomparable natural spectacle. You will now leisurely follow the Danube Cycle Path to Feldkirchen on the Danube.
Day 3: Feldkirchen - Mitterkirchen, approx. 55 km + train ride
After breakfast, you first cycle to Ottensheim, where you change to the train for a leisurely ride to Linz. The largest city in the region offers many sights. The best way to get an overview is to take a short tour of the city. Of course, those with a sweet tooth will be looking for a piece of genuine Linz cake. Back on the bike, you will soon reach the small community of Mauthausen in Machland. The long history of the region is best viewed in the Celtic Museum. Only a few more kilometres to cycle to your destination for the day, Mitterkirchen.
Day 4: Mitterkirchen - Hengstberg, approx. 35 km
While the landscape has been wide and open up to here, this picture changes from Grein onwards. Here you stand at the entrance to the Strudengau. The Danube struggles through several faults here, which is why numerous rapids were to be expected in this section in earlier times. Since the river has been used for power generation, however, its course has calmed down a little.
Day 5: Hengstberg ‒ Aggstein, approx. 50 km
Melk Monastery is considered the gateway to the Wachau. The well-known wine region offers numerous specialities for body and soul and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000. Many winegrowers offer wine tastings. We recommend enjoying a dry Riesling.
Day 6: Aggstein – Krems, approx. 30 km
Today you follow the Danube through the second part of the Wachau. Due to the fertile soils and the Danube, the Wachau was fought over for centuries. As witnesses to this history, you can discover several castle ruins. For example, the Hinterhaus ruins near Spitz or the Dürnstein ruins, where, according to legend, Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned. In addition to wine, the Wachau is famous for its apricot cultivation.
Day 7: Krems - Vienna, approx. 40 km + train ride
Your last day's stage begins with a train ride to Tulln. Here you get on your bike for the last time on your family cycling vacation along the Austrian Danube and ride leisurely to Vienna. One afternoon is certainly not enough to get to know the capital of Austria extensively, but there should be just enough time for a walk in the Prater or a visit to a café.
