Most Beautiful Part of the Danube

Monday, May 6, 2024

After an amazing breakfast (and grabbed food to go foe lunch), we found our bikes and headed down the path along the beautiful Danube River.

We crossed the river on a ferry at the Schlogen Loop. We didn't see it like this but our route sure was pretty!

Castle Neuhaus was built in the 12th century as a hunting residence for the bishop of Passau. 

We ended up in Aschach at an ice cream vendor... because this cruise is apparently involves more eating than biking!

We got back on board around 130pm where we had coffee and cakes (after the ice cream). The boat left at 230. We had our saftey drill while going through one of the many locks on the river.

It was an absolutely beautiful day. The temp was around 70 degrees. No wind. Tree lines dedicated bicycle path along the Danube River in Austria! On the boat, we enjoyed beautiful views on Linz and other smaller towns. We will be moving all night so we can arrive in Devin, Austria by 8am tomorrow so we can ride to Bratislava,  Slovakia.  Last night,  the boat wasn't moving and was very quiet.  The boat is a very smooth ride and has a slight hum. It shouldn't be a problem sleeping.  Dinner was a little faster this evening because we had pre ordered our choices... and it was delicious.
