The Bavarian Danube Cycle Path

You begin your bike tour along the Bavarian Danube in picturesque town of Donauwörth. Here the most important trade route between Nuremberg and Augsburg once crossed the Danube. Today, magnificent town houses are a reminder of the town's importance and wealth. You will spend the night in Donauwörth or in the suburb Wörnitzstein. Booked rental bikes are available for you at the hotel.

The first stage of your bike tour along the Bavarian Danube takes you along the foothills of the Franconian Albs. Take a break in Neuburg with its beautiful old town, the Hofkirche church and the impressive city palace. An amazing medieval flair awaits you in Ingolstadt. The city is known worldwide as the home of the car brand Audi . At the Audi museum mobile, you can find out more about the company's history and take a journey through the past decades illustraded by numerous exhibits.

The Danube cycle path takes you via Neustadt through hop fields to Bad Gögging. The spa town is ideal for relaxing. Take a bath in natural moor or in its thermal waters. Or how about a glass of sulphur water? In Abensberg, it is worth climbing the Kuchlbauer Tower. It was designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser and is located on the site of a brewery. It can be visited as part of a guided tour. If you are staying overnight in Kelheim, the Weltenburg - Kelheim boat trip through the Danube Gorge takes place today.

The first stop along the Danube is Weltenburg. The monastery here houses the oldest monastery brewery in the world. From Weltenburg you board the ferry to Kelheim. Shortly after the start, you will pass the Danube Gorge. Here  the Danube forces its way through steep rock faces. In Kelheim you can visit the Liberation Hall on top of the Michelsberg hill. In Regensburg you reach the northernmost point of the Danube. Stroll through the extensive old town and enjoy a cool beer in one of its cozy beer gardens.

The first stop of today's stage of your cycle tour along the Bavarian Danube is Walhalla near Donaustauf. King Ludwig I build the imposing memorial in the 19th century. After enjoying the view of the Danube and the surrounding area, you cycle on to the old ducal town of Straubing with Celtic and Roman roots. Straubing's landmark is its nearly 70-metre-high tower.

First you cycle to the small town of Bogen. Visit the pilgrimage church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary at Bogenberg and enjoy the view. Then you continue to cycle to Pfelling and Mariaposching until you reach your destination for the day, Deggendorf. The town is known as the gateway to the Bavarian Forest. Treat yourself to some of Deggendorf's famous dumplings and explore the old town around the town square and the town hall.

Today is the final spurt! Your destination, the Three Rivers City of Passau is a wonderful ending to your cycle tour along the Bavarian Danube. It has a long history, which can be felt in all corners of the city. Take a stroll through the city and enjoy the almost Mediterranean flair of Passau. Visit St. Stephen's Cathedral and the Veste Oberhaus above the Danube.

After breakfast, your cycle tour along the Bavarian Danube ends. We are happy to extend your stay in Passau or one of the other overnight locations with an extra night.
