Hainburg - Bratislava
Route description:
You start your tour in Hainburg in the immediate vicinity of the Hainburger Pforte (Hainburg/Devin Gate), a small geological gap between the Carpathian Mountains and the foothills of the eastern Alps. This gate has been of great strategic importance over the centuries. Hainburg Castle and Devin Fortress are both part of a medieval defense line. In recent history it formed part of the Iron Curtain.
You travel along the B9, which has a bike path running on its north side. Just before Bratislava, the road and bike path diverge. After lengthy left and right bends, you reach the Slovakian capital, enjoying the waterfront and the view of Bratislava Castle. Then you say your goodbyes to the Danube, which has been a faithful companion on this trip.
