Danube Cycle Path from Linz to Vienna for Families

Welcome to Linz, the capital of Upper Austria. Start your day with a leisurely stroll through the historic centre, followed by a visit to the Linz Zoo. Don't miss the Ars Electronica Center, a museum for the future where you can experiment, research, and test. If you've booked any, your rental bikes will be ready for you at the hotel.

Start your day with a visit to the Grottenbahn on Mount Pöstlingberg, a world of fire-spitting dragons, gnomes, and witches. Then, cycle out of the city along the Danube, passing by the Lake Pleschinger See. Take a break at Lake Ausee and enjoy the Aqua Park before continuing your journey to Enns.

Explore Austria's oldest town, Enns, with a visit to the Roman Circular Path and a stroll through the castle grounds. Return to the Danube riverbank and cycle across the idyllic scenery of the 'Machland'. En route to Grein, visit the outdoor museum Celtic Village in Mitterkirchen and experience Austria's prehistory.

Visit Melk, the gateway to the Wachau, and explore the monumental Benedictine monastery. Then, continue your journey to Krems. You can choose to take a boat trip, disembark early and cycle the final kilometres, or cycle the entire route. Either way, you'll be treated to a varied scenery, lovingly laid out vineyards, and vast plains.

Take a leisurely train journey to Tulln and start your final cycling stage to Vienna. The feeling is simply overwhelming as you cycle across the 'Danube Island' reaching Austria's capital. Visit the Prater in Vienna, featuring a haunted house, a wax museum, and the world-renowned Ferris wheel. Don't miss a stroll along 'Mariahilfer Straße', a break in one of the numerous cafés, and some time spent in the zoo 'Schönbrunn'.
