Today has plenty to offer: We begin with a ride through the Strudengau, once the most dangerous stretch of Danube shipping. We initially cycle along the southern bank of the Danube, as there isn't a good cycle path on the north side. In Persenbeug stands the oldest Danube power plant. There, we cross

Anyone who thinks the Tullnerfeld and the Vienna area are boring will discover that there are also beautiful cycle paths there that change that perception. The Perschling, a rather unassuming little river, flows into the Danube near Tulln, and we follow this waterway to that point. There you can even

Day 3 of our trip to Vienna takes us along the Traun again, through lonely meadows and beautiful nature. At the Danube we then swing onto the Danube Cycle Path, first to Enns, the oldest town in Austria with the striking town tower. We follow the Nibelungen, and Roman history also accompanies us. Wallsee

Here we go! From Salzburg we use the bike path that follows the route of the former local railway to Bad Ischl. Magnificent lakes and mountains accompany us on this day before we stop at the Zauner in Ischl. Then we continue along the Traun to Ebensee, one of the places that gave the Salzkammergut its

Today's route first takes us via Altötting, the quintessential pilgrimage site, then on to Marktl, the Pope's birthplace, and finally to Prienbach. A religious leg of the journey, so to speak... You remain in Germany the entire time, although after a while Austria lies on the opposite bank. Finally

Today we first come to Schnackenburg, where we leave the Elbe and move into the Altmark. Due to the somewhat strange border, it is often unclear where exactly you are. In any case, we travel through 3 federal states, namely Lower Saxony, Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt.

The Arendsee is the largest natural

From Wernigerode we continue... in what was then East Germany. And the first steeper stage is immediately upon us – the flatlands of the north are over for now! As an alternative, you can take the Harzquerbahn railway to Sorge. The descent to Elrich brings with it many reminders of the former border

Alternative way to get to Potsdam - the other direction along the Wall Trail. Lots of city, long tour, lots of memorial sites.

First, we stay in Thuringia, crossing the "peninsula" twice before crossing the border one last time in Vacha.



After that, we remain in Thuringia, always following the Werra River. Our destination is Meiningen. This leg doesn't exactly follow the EV13 route, but it allows for a better journey home.

Along the Werra River... Day 2. In Heldra, we cross between Hesse and Thuringia, and twice more before reaching our destination. Gerstungen was known as a former border station. Nearby is the "Thuringian Zipfel," a tongue of land jutting into Hesse, which is why some infrastructure here ran through the
