Itinerary
  • Day 1 - Individual arrival in Linz

    Linz—once a drab industrial city, now a cultural capital steeped in history. The Baroque Old Town tells the story of trade and the Habsburgs, while the castle evokes the era of Roman forts. Today, it's a modern city: Ars Electronica, LENTOS, and graffiti art at Mural Harbor. And yes—the Linzer Torte has been documented since 1653.
    Hotel example: Hotel Courtyard by Marriott in Linz
  • Day 2 - From Linz to Steyr, approx. 55 km

    If you have booked rental bikes, please pick them up before the tour begins. The Danube Cycle Path leads to Enns, Austria's oldest city—with Roman roots, city walls, and a city tower visible from afar. From there, the route continues to the romantic city of Steyr, which has flourished since the Middle Ages: as an ironworks town, a Renaissance gem, and a Baroque beauty with a Gothic heart—the famous Bummerlhaus.
    Hotel example: Stadthotel Styria in Steyr
  • Day 3 - From Steyr to Bad Ischl, approx. 70 km + train journey

    A varied bike tour full of culture, imperial history, and the charm of the Salzkammergut awaits you. Passing through Bad Hall, with its long tradition as an imperial and royal spa town, you'll cycle to the Benedictine Abbey of Kremsmünster, which was founded as early as 777. The route continues through the charming countryside to Gmunden on Lake Traunsee. The town's famous ceramics, the romantic Ort Lake Castle, and its long tradition as a summer retreat for Viennese society make it a special stop along the way. Afterward, the train will take you comfortably to Bad Ischl. Here, the Imperial Villa and the legendary Imperial and Royal Court Pastry Shop Zauner await—two true highlights to round out the day.
    Hotel example: Hotel Grand Elisabeth in Bad Ischl
  • Day 4 - From Bad Ischl to Salzburg, approx. 70 km

    Cycle through the Salzkammergut—once the monarchy's salt supplier—via St. Wolfgang and Mondsee to Salzburg. The city is a Baroque masterpiece, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mozart's birthplace, and the seat of the prince-archbishops. No other place combines music, history, and Kaiserschmarrn more beautifully. Photo tip: The Mirabell Gardens offer a magnificent view of Hohensalzburg Fortress!
    Hotel example: Hotel Mercure in Salzburg
  • Day 5 - From Salzburg to Braunau/surroundings, approx. 60 km + train journey

    Take the train to Oberndorf—known as the birthplace of the Christmas carol “Silent Night.” Then continue on to Burghausen, home to the world's longest castle complex. Braunau has a rich and eventful history: once a thriving trading town, surrounded by Baroque country churches and architecture influenced by the Inn and Salzach rivers.
    Hotel example: Hotel-Gasthof Mayrbräu in Braunau
  • Day 6 - From Braunau/surroundings to Schärding, approx. 50 km

    Today's stage takes you along the picturesque Inn Cycle Path through the impressive Lower Inn European Nature Reserve, a unique nature and bird sanctuary featuring tranquil floodplains, reed beds, and a fascinating diversity of species. Passing through Reichersberg, known for its magnificent Augustinian monastery, you'll continue cycling to the Baroque town of Schärding. The magnificent townhouses on the Upper Town Square and the cozy cafés invite you to take a leisurely stroll and enjoy the atmosphere—a charming way to conclude your cycling trip.
    Hotel example: Hotel Biedermeier Hof in Schärding
  • Day 7 - From Schärding to the Schlögener Schlinge, approx. 55 km

    The Inn accompanies you on the last stage of your journey to Passau, the Bavarian city where three rivers meet – the Danube, Inn and Ilz – once a powerful bishopric with a magnificent cathedral and princely residence. From here, follow the Danube Cycle Path upstream to the Schlögener Schlinge, an impressive natural monument that fascinated the Celts and Romans alike. A short walk to the Schlögener Blick viewpoint is well worth the effort: from there, you can enjoy a breathtaking panorama of the mighty Danube meander – an unforgettable end to your cycling tour.
    Hotel example: Revita Hotel Kocher in St. Agatha
  • Day 8 - From the Schlögener Schlinge to Linz, approx. 55 km and individual journey home or additional nights

    To round out this journey through time, you'll cruise leisurely back along the Danube to Linz—the city where it all began. If you'd like, treat yourself to another “Verlängerter” with cake at a café in the Old Town or a farewell drink along the Danube promenade. Here's to a journey full of stories, delights, and Austrian charm! Your luggage will arrive at the starting hotel in Linz by 5:30 p.m. at the latest.
