Today you will enjoy a particularly varied stage of your star bike tour on the Danube Cycle Path. From the three-river city of Passau, you will cycle leisurely along the idyllic Inn Cycle Path through green meadows. The path takes you along the Inn, where you will repeatedly switch between the German and Austrian banks and experience the tranquil beauty of this unique river landscape. The destination of your bike tour on this day is the magnificent baroque town of Schärding, whose colorful Silberzeile, charming squares, and culinary specialties never fail to delight our guests. After your return to Passau, an atmospheric end to the day awaits you: on a leisurely 3-river city tour from the Danube boat, you can marvel at the impressive confluence of the Danube, Inn, and Ilz rivers.Day 3 - Danube cycle track to Schweiklberg Abbey, approx. 50 km
Today's stage of the Sternradtour on the Danube Cycle Path takes you through a particularly idyllic river landscape in Bavaria. On the German section of the Danube Cycle Path, you will cycle leisurely through a picturesque narrow valley surrounded by the southern foothills of the Bavarian Forest. At your destination, Vilshofen, you will see how the Vils and Wolfach rivers flow into the Danube. High above the town towers the traditional Benedictine Abbey of Schweiklberg, whose silhouette and spiritual atmosphere have inspired visitors for generations.Day 4 - Danube cycle track to Engelhartszell Abbey and to Schlögener Schlinge by motor barge, approx. 60 km
Another highlight of your cycling holiday on the Danube Cycle Path awaits you today. First, a leisurely boat trip on the Danube will take you to Kasten.

On the way, you will pass the famous Engelszell Abbey, Austria's only Trappist monastery. A special experience on this day is the trip on a self-steered motorized barge: in the middle of the spectacular Danube Loop, you will explore this breathtaking natural landscape up close.Day 5 - Individual departure or additional nights in Passau
