Danube Cycle Path

Current Information

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!

Stage 6, southern bank, Erpersdorf / Kleinschönbichl: We inform you, that extensive renovation work on the towpath will take place in the Erpersdorf / Kleinschönbichl area starting March 24, 2025, and is expected to continue until mid or late April. During this period, the affected section of the Danube Cycle Path (EuroVelo 6 – Stage 6, southern bank) will be completely closed. A detour has been established for bicycle traffic and is clearly signposted on site. The alternative route is marked as an orange line in the overview map.

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.
