Spend a week by the blue Danube river, cycling alongside its banks and sleeping on a traditional riverboat each night. As you follow the river through Austria you’ll find captivating cities and baroque buildings embedded in green landscapes. Pedalling downstream from Engelhartszell, the Danube cycle path flows gently downhill, making this tour ideal for occasional cyclists or families with older children. The musical city of Vienna is a real highlight towards the end of the trip and you can look forward to a whole day here to experience grand palaces, horse-drawn carriages and delicious Viennese coffee. Before you cruise back to Engelhartszell, the rugged peaks, apricot trees and wine terraces of Wachau National Park bring this tour to a climax – look forward to stunning fortresses, idyllic villages and magnificent monasteries. Alternatively, travel on the Danube River - Passau To Vienna which has a slightly different itinerary starting from Passau.
