Danube Cycle Path

Our promise to those who travel with us is this: cycle easy, travel light. These words capture the essence of what we do. Choose your favourite cycling holiday and leave the rest to us: itinerary, accommodation, maps and route descriptions and multilingual dedicated assistance.

In total it is about 2850 kilometers long: it starts at the source of the Danube in the middle of the Black Forest and runs all the way to its mouth in the Black Sea. But the most famous section is the Austrian section, which runs about 300 kilometers.

Every month from April to October is good for cycling on the trail. In spring and fall, you can enjoy cooler temperatures; in summer, you can enjoy longer days. If you choose to travel by bike and barge, cabin availability is limited, so it’s best to book at least a couple of months in advance.

You will pass through majestic and elegant cities such as Bratislava, Vienna, and Budapest. You will also see the romantic landscapes of the Wachau Valley among the vineyards. Not to mention the picturesque Schlögen Bight.

The Danube cycling tours are self-guided. On board you will find maps and route descriptions to cycle at your own pace. An English-speaking tour leader is also on board throughout the trip, running a daily evening briefing on the following day’s stage, sharing tips and information about the route and acting as your point of reference whenever you need one.

In general, breakfast and dinner are served on board, while lunch is a packed lunch prepared with ingredients from the kitchen on board. As meal arrangements can vary by tour, we recommend checking the specific tour page for full details on what is and is not included.

On self-guided bike tours on the Danube cycle path, we provide everything you need to find your way: detailed maps and route descriptions, in printed or digital format depending on the trip.

We offer bike and barge tours along the Danube cycle path. You will stay on the barge, and your cabin will be yours for the entire vacation. For complete details about the barge, please visit the “Comfort” section on the trip page.

Every bike tour includes: overnight on board, breakfast and other meals (depending on the tour), route materials or tour leader and multilingual assistance. 

We strongly recommend it. A good policy should cover medical expenses, trip cancellation and cycling-specific incidents. Travel insurance is not included in the tour price and must be arranged independently before your trip.
