Danube Cycle Path Near Günzburg

Highlight • Cycleway

Here you can drive a few kilometers directly along the Danube embankment. For me, this is a welcome change, as the official Danube Cycle Route is often a bit away from the Danube.

Danube Riverside Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The bike path right next to the Danube is now super well laid out and is also great to ride with the family. There are also restaurants and snack bars every now and then.

May 31, 2025,Brompton Touring: Germany🇩🇪, Ulm - Lauingen (Donau)

A relatively short and relaxed tour along the Danube. The German Music Festival, which is held in this format every eight years at different locations, was taking place in Ulm. The Danube Cycle Path is pleasant and you pass several beautiful swimming spots, which was a nice change of pace on the warm day.

Shortly after Ulm, we crossed into Bavaria. It was gusty again, but the sun was shining. Before Günzburg, we cycled along forest and gravel paths to the Danube, then through Gundelfingen, Lauingen, and Dillendingen, mostly on good bike paths along the country road, which wasn't so great. As beautiful as the towns were with their spruced-up town houses and shops, …

Each stage on the cycle path has its "specials"! Today more birdsong than street noise, more dirt roads than asphalt. On the other hand, not quite as interesting places or cities as before.

From Ulm it's almost the whole time through the forest, the Danube meadows or along the dam.
The landscape is really beautiful 😍 and it's really comfortable …

Today was fine again.
My way led in large parts over the signposted Danube Cycle Path and was really very nice.
The Danube on the left, the Donauried on the right, which of course you don't see too much of...

The detour to Günzburg is worthwhile.

My days on the Danube end here in Ulm.

Today cycled from Ulm to Höchstädt. It was mostly along the Danube, through beautiful nature reserves, and through beautiful little towns.

Since we only had a shorter route planned today and the weather wasn't expected to improve until midday, we first did some sightseeing in Ulm. After visiting Ulm Minster and a snack break, we finally set off. Today's route featured many beautiful forest trails, gravel paths right along the Danube, and picturesque towns.
