Very nice section of the Danube RW - mostly right on the river long away from the highway.

From Passau it goes along the Danube along the road on the cycle path of emperors and kings to the Jochenstein Danube power plant.
After passing the bike ferry in Engelhartszell, you continue on the other bank on an idyllic road with no traffic to the Danube loop in Schlögen.
The bike ferry takes you to the Hotel Riverresort Donauschlinge …

August 24, 2024,Donauradeln 🌊 PA > Campingplatz Hofmühle 🏕️/Ottensheim 🇦🇹
I haven't cycled along the Danube from PA for a long time... so it was finally about time again, before in winter - like every year - certain sections are closed due to forestry work or possibly a complete walling up of the Danube cycle path due to rockfalls 😅🙈.

June 16, 2024,1. Etappe von Passau nach Linz
A beautiful tour that allows you to get to know both sides of the river. When we arrived in Linz, we booked an overnight stay at the Kolpinghaus (which is pretty central). Highly recommended. The rooms are good, the staff very friendly. But the breakfast is amazing. Unbeatable for the price of the overnight stay. There is even a bicycle …

May 5, 2024,Donau- Radweg l - von Passau nach Linz
The first stage of our bike tour from Passau to Vienna started in thick early morning fog, which soon gave way to beautiful cycling weather with sunshine. 🌤
Although the bikeline cycling guide said that there were practically no climbs on this stage, the reality from the start to the Schlögener Loop was a little different, because we did start …

The headwind was terrible. Every mountain ends at some point, but the wind doesn't 😁
