Linz-Vienna Danube Cycle Path 2026 - Short Cycling Tour

4 days/ 3 nights, 60–85 km daily, mostly flat, 4-and 3-star-category

This cycle tour is ideal for last-minute travellers who want to experience a lot in just a few days: from the lively Danube city of Linz to the quiet Nibelungengau to the baroque Wachau and on to Vienna. You cycle along the well-developed Danube Cycle Path, past alluvial forests, wine terraces and cultural highlights - with longer daily stages, but enough time for enjoyable breaks. High-quality hotels and culinary experiences such as apricot dumplings, Heurigen platters or Wachau wine round off the trip.

    Example of hotel: Hotel Arcotel Nike in Linz
  • Day 2 - From Linz to Grein, approx. 60 km

    You start your cycle tour along the Danube and cycle through the untouched riparian forests of the Machland. The nature trail near Au/Donau is ideal for a short break - a quiet place with birdsong and a view of the Danube, just made for cycling. In the afternoon you reach Grein, a charming little baroque town on the Danube cycle path. Visit the historic town theatre or the shipping museum - and bring the day to a cosy close with fried Danube fish overlooking the river.
    Example of hotel: Hotel Aumühle in Grein
  • Day 3 - From Grein to Krems, approx. 85 km

    Today you cycle through the legendary landscape of the Nibelungengau - past Maria Taferl and Melk Abbey. Between Willendorf and Wösendorf you are accompanied by wine terraces, apricot gardens and enchanting panoramas. In Spitz or Dürnstein, a wine tavern invites you to take a break - a glass of Grüner Veltliner and fresh apricot dumplings are a must here. The destination is Krems, where history, culture and culinary delights come together.
    Example of hotel: Arte Hotel in Krems
  • Day 4 - From Krems to Vienna, approx. 85 km, individual departure

    The last day of your cycling holiday takes you through the vast Tullnerfeld. In the garden city of Tulln, a short tour through the adventure gardens is worthwhile, later the baroque Klosterneuburg Abbey awaits you. From here, follow the Danube cycle path through green suburbs to the capital city of Vienna. Visit Schönbrunn Palace or the Hofburg and crown your cycle tour with a real Wiener Schnitzel in the city centre - before you end your cycle tour and start your journey home. A worthy finale for all those who enjoy cycling.
