Wachau Vineyards Route

Highlight • Cycleway

The route, with moderate climbs, leads directly through the vineyards. The Danube flows some distance from the cycle path in this section, a little further down in the valley. A magnificent sight, with very, very beautiful scenery. 👌

I'm not captioning the pictures today; they're loading so slowly. It was already a struggle yesterday. All I can say is that Melk Abbey is worth a visit, and the guided tour is practically a must for anyone who wants to see so much splendor and learn about history.
The bike paths in the Wachau are fantastic, and so is …

Today is the early Mother's Day surprise. Tomorrow is not supposed to be as consistent as today, so today we cycle and eat far too much. The cycle path was busy, but it was nice to ride.

Yesterday I had to break off the tour after only 20 km due to thunderstorms. Today the round with M drove the Danube cycle path 5 and 6 left and right of the Danube. The Dürnstein side is completely overrun by bikers. On the Rossatz side it is much quieter and I think the landscape is more beautiful.

Today we went through the Wachau on the Danube Cycle Path. This weekend is the start of the apricot blossom and of course we had to use it. Very nice bike paths and always the blooming trees. The ruins of the rear building were also on the way, so we climbed up there on foot. It is very worth seeing.
