The Danube Cycle Path begins at the source in Donaueschingen and winds from there for about 1,260 kilometres to Budapest. Most of the time, the cycle path runs directly along the banks of the Danube. Almost without gradients you cycle past picturesque natural landscapes, sun-drenched vineyards, mighty fortresses or romantic monasteries and pass through such beautiful cities as Ulm, Passau, Linz, Vienna and Bratislava.
We have divided the cycle path into 27 stages, each about 50 kilometres long. Thanks to the well-developed paths and the easy route, the individual stages are really suitable for anyone who is looking for cycling pleasure. The good infrastructure along the Danube cycle path is also pure pleasure. Accommodation is available everywhere, so you can choose from guesthouses, beautiful hotels or inns to suit your taste. Even youth hostels and camping sites can often be found close to the stage destinations. The cycle path is also well developed in terms of gastronomy and you can look forward to a tasty meal in one of the numerous restaurants and cafés after each section of the route.
No matter if spring, summer or autumn, the Danube cycle path is always beautiful to ride and a very special experience in every season.
The part of the Danube Cycle Path that leads through Germany got ranked by the ADFC (German Cyclist's Association) as a quality cycle route with four stars. More information (in German): adfc.de/artikel/radurlaub-als-sternstunde
