Scharding to Vienna - Escorted Cycling
The classic route along the river Danube from Passau to Vienna is one of the most beautiful cycle tours of Europe. Nobody will forget the unique natural beauties of Schlogener Schlinge, the legendary Nibelungen country or famous Wachau with vineyards and apricot orchards. History left visible traces along the tour, ruins and fortresses, former settlements of Danube skippers or traces of the Roman civilisation.
You will notice the changes of local colour from Bavaria through Upper Austria and Lower Austria to Vienna. Homemade specialities vary from rustic to sophisticated and beverage preferences change from beer to cider and wine. Do not miss the opportunity of getting the taste of Austria. This route is ideally suited for a cycle holiday with the whole family
