Learn moreMajestic castles, sweeping river landscapes, and cities steeped in history – hardly any other river in Europe combines nature and culture as impressively as the Danube. Enjoy varied stages by bike and boat during the day and return relaxed to your floating hotel in the evening. The Wachau Valley, Vienna, Bratislava, and Budapest are among the highlights of our Danube river and bike tours.
On the Danube Cycle Path, nature, history, and vibrant traditions converge. This creates a unique travel experience on every stage. Highlights of a river cycling tour on the Danube include:
The Wachau is a particularly renowned wine region in Austria and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Between Melk and Krkems Terraced vineyards, orchards, and picturesque villages characterize the landscape. Cyclists enjoy regional specialties, traditional wine taverns, and impressive views of the river. Here, culinary delights, nature, and culture merge into an experience that makes the character of a bike and boat trip on the Danube particularly tangible.
Vienna captivates visitors with its magnificent palaces, the famous Ringstrasse, and a vibrant coffeehouse culture. Cyclists and boaters can explore the city at their leisure, discovering grand boulevards and charming squares. In the evenings, a diverse array of concerts, operas, and restaurants awaits. Culture, music, and culinary delights are all intertwined in Vienna – a truly unique experience on the Danube.
Bratislava lies directly on the banks of the Danube and captivates visitors with its vibrant old town, winding streets, and colorful facades. High above the city, Bratislava Castle offers sweeping views of the river. The blend of medieval heritage and modern architecture gives the city a unique flair. Along the river promenade, travelers and locals alike enjoy relaxing hours and taking in the views of the Danube.
Budapest is divided by the Danube into the districts of Buda and Pest, which are connected by impressive bridges such as the famous Chain Bridge. On one side rises Castle Hill with its historic buildings, while on the other, magnificent boulevards and thermal baths gleam. This creates a blend of history, recreation, and metropolitan flair that makes the city's character truly unique.
Those who travel further east will experience spectacular river gorges such as the Iron Gates between Serbia and Romania. Here, the Danube carves its way dramatically through the Carpathian Mountains, offering breathtaking views. At the end of the river lies the Danube Delta, a vast natural paradise teeming with birdlife and rare plants – an experience for explorers and nature lovers alike.

A Danube river cruise is ideal for anyone who wants to combine exercise with leisure. Along the way, you'll experience wine regions, historic cities, and regional specialties without having to repack every day. For a more relaxed pace, you can book an e-bike – making the trip comfortable even for less experienced cyclists, so everyone can enjoy each stage equally.
The best time to cycle the Danube Cycle Path is from April to October. Spring and autumn offer pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds, while in summer warm days and long evenings make for a particularly lively cycling trip.
On a cycling tour along the Danube, the ship serves as a floating hotel. During the day, you cycle individually or in groups along the river. In the evening, comfort awaits you on board with a cabin, restaurant, and sun deck. This allows you to combine exercise, culture, and relaxation.
Depending on the ship, you can either bring your own bicycle or choose a suitable rental bike on site. Well-maintained touring bikes and e-bikes are available, which we will adjust individually for you to ensure a comfortable and safe journey.
With our exclusive bike tours, we offer you comfortable additional services at no extra cost to make your stay as pleasant as possible. We take care of your physical, mental and spiritual well-being and ensure that you have an unforgettable holiday.
During the trip, you have the freedom to plan your cycling stages individually. Since your floating hotel is always nearby, you can decide at any time to leave your bike for a day and spend a relaxing day on the sun deck. Whether you then cycle the stage on your own or have a tour guide show you the highlights on selected tours – you set the pace.
Our comprehensive travel documents contain detailed suggestions and tips for planning your day. Of course, you are free to deviate from these and plan your own activities. The only important thing is that you return to your floating hotel at the scheduled time to continue your journey to the next destination.
To help you find your way around as easily as possible, we provide route descriptions in various languages. You can find out which languages the documents are available in for your specific cycling tour in the details on the corresponding tour page.
