Danube Cycle Path

Current Information

Danube Cycle Path Stage 5 South Bank: Melk - Mautern: Due to the landslide in the Aggsbach Dorf area, the Danube cycle path on the southern bank of the Danube between Aggsbach Dorf and Aggstein is closed.

Alternative ways to bypass the Danube cycle path closure:

Coming from Mautern: change to the north bank with the ferry in Arnsdorf to Spitz. Please note the seasonal operating times! The Weißenkirchen-St. Lorenz ferry and the Dürnstein-Rossatz motor ferry are not in operation from November to March!
Coming from Melk: cross the Danube at the Danube bridge in Melk to take the route on the north bank from Emmersdorf to Krems.

Mautern-Krems area: Due to construction work on the bridge between Mautern and Stein (Mauterner Bridge), there are restrictions for cyclists! The cycle path currently runs on the road (speed limit 30 km/h).  We ask for increased caution!

The Danube Cycle Path is one of the most scenic cycling routes in Europe. It extends for about 1,200 kilometers from Donaueschingen in Germany to the Hungarian capital of Budapest.

The Danube Cycle Path also winds its way through Austria, running parallel to the mighty river. There are a total of 410 enjoyable kilometers from the German city of Passau to Bratislava on the border to Slovakia. Of that total, 260 kilometers run through the Lower Austrian Danube region, a wonderful treasure indeed. Tow paths, well-cared-for bike paths and quiet village streets connect both banks of the river. Rest stops with comfortable pergolas for cyclists are inviting places to stop and kick back for a while.
