TOUR DESCRIPTION
Cycle Cruise Passau - Vienna - Budapest - Passau
Enjoy the tour of superlatives! The most beautiful stretches of the Danube Cyclepath and
the three capitals Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest are the highlights of this week of cycling.
Accompanied by your 'swimming hotel' you are free to enjoy the tour of four countries with
all comfort. This journey takes you to the highlights along Europe’s second largest river. The
impressive spectacle of nature at Schlögener Donauschlinge (=”Great Loop”), the fascinating
landscape of Wachau with its vineyards, castles and palaces, the untouched alluvial forests
of the National Park Donauauen as well as the picturesque hungarian Danube bend are
alternating with pulsative metropolises such as Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest. The wide
stream of the Danube flows like a silver belt through Budapest separating the hilly Buda
and the flat Pest. The imposant cupola of the basilica in Esztergom salutes already from the
distance. At the foot of the Carpathian Mountains the slovak capitol Bratislava (former
Pressburg) invites with its charming Old Town to a vast stroll. What about a small flirt with
Vienna, City of Waltz? A firework of sightseeings, small dreamy coffee bars and cosy wine
taverns are expecting you.
