Family Cycling - Danube Linz to Vienna Cycling Tour 8-days Level 1
The Danube is an adventure playground for all ages. This cycling tour is an exciting journey of discovery and a hands-on holiday for kids. The big kids (adults) will enjoy recreation and rest in dreamy landscapes with numerous sights and attractions, although the program is customized and focused on the younger cyclists. Lots of variety is guaranteed: a donkey riding adventure, a boat ride on the Danube in which a Captain’s License is obtained and even a ride on the world’s oldest Ferris Wheel are just to name a few of the numerous highlights.
The cycling path is completely paved from one end to the other, flat, almost always directly along the riverbank and very suitable for beginners and children.
Please book your bike (88 EUR) or e-bike (198 EUR) when you book the tour: [email protected]
