This shorter version of the Danube Cycle Path tour offers a condensed yet enriching journey through one of Austria’s most scenic and culturally significant regions. Starting in the riverside town of Grein and ending in Vienna, this ride takes in the dramatic river valley of the Strudengau, the vineyard-draped hills of the Wachau, and the historic towns that line this storied stretch of the Danube. Along the way, sample regional wines, marvel at grand monasteries, and immerse yourself in the beauty of rural Austria - before arriving in the imperial capital.
Ideal for those seeking a relaxed, scenic ride packed with highlights over a long weekend or short break.
