August 6, 2025,Donau 2025 Tag 7: Marbach <-> Grein

Our goal was to travel the Danube from Passau to Spitz in our motorhome. Our fifth stop was the Marbach campsite on the Danube.
The seventh tour took us from the Marbach campsite on the left bank of the Danube to Grein. The cycle path was fine up to Persenbeug and a bit further. But about seven kilometers before Grein, …

Today it went like clockwork. I was in Ybbs very quickly. The bicycle museum there is a highlight! 😍 And then I was in Pöchlarn in no time. First to the Oskar Kokoschka Museum. 🎨 And since there was still time, off to Melk! 🕍

June 4, 2026,🚵‍♀️🚵‍♂️ Et.4: Grein-Melk

The Greiner Blasorchester reminds us early in the morning: today is Corpus Christi😇 - there was a mass on the market square in brilliant sunshine, including a traditional costume show. Then we took the cycle ferry and headed towards Krems. In contrast to the past few days, the course of the Danube and the landscape were much more varied [if …

September 23, 2025,🇦🇹 Tag 4: Grein - Melk

It was supposed to rain today. It was raining during breakfast, too. When we set off, the rain stopped and stayed that way, yay!

The route today led directly along the Danube. The first half was beautiful. We went into the towns of Ybbs and Pöchlarn. Both were quite pretty. From Pöchlarn, we cycled either along the riverbank or along …

November 14, 2025,Auf dem Weg nach Wien - Grein nach Melk

Day two on the way to Vienna. 107km... max 5 degrees... no sun, no cyclists... dreary route, hardly any restaurants at this time of year, and now a stiff headwind. My first longer break was in Grein, in a great café. Then it was on to Ybbs. Time seems to have stood still here. Just 22km to go to Melk. …

June 28, 2023,Passau => Wien No. 5 🚴💨

Always east.

We are now approaching the Wachau.
At the beginning of the day we still have to share the bike path with cars and trucks from time to time. As the bike path progresses, it becomes really beautiful and you can enjoy the surroundings. Today we camp again at the Melk campsite.
Small, family equipped with the essentials.

June 26, 2024,Von Ardagger Stift nach Melk - Donauradweg

Today again a few kilometers along the Danube. The cycle paths on both sides of the Danube are almost completely asphalted and signposted. Today it was very sunny 🌞 and very warm. The wind didn't help much either. But you know, "zappstellen" and all that...😁🍺 Finally, a bit of culture in Melk Abbey. It's definitely worth a look. 😀👍

June 12, 2026,Donau Tour 26 Melk->Grein (Österreich)

From Melk, we ride across the Melk and then across the Melk power station to the north side of the Danube.
It is very cool and a very strong headwind from the west blows into our faces. Riding on the Danube dyke feels just like riding on the Elbe dyke near Hamburg today.
First, it goes up and down a …
