Cycling day trip from Regensburg to Deggendorf

This ride takes you from the historic heart of Regensburg all the way to the charming riverside town of Deggendorf—a lovely stretch of about 90 kilometers along the beautiful Danube. Expect mostly paved surfaces and plenty of quiet roads and cycle paths, so you can really soak in the scenery without much traffic.

Starting in Regensburg, you’ll get a taste of ancient history—think UNESCO World Heritage vibes, medieval streets, and the iconic Stone Bridge. Roll out eastward and you’ll soon be pedaling through lush river landscapes and peaceful Bavarian villages, with gentle ascents and even gentler descents (good news for the legs!). Most of the route flanks the Danube, so postcard-worthy water views are definitely included.

You’ll end your journey in Deggendorf, known as the “gateway to the Bavarian Forest.” It’s a laid-back town with a classic Altstadt (old town) and plenty of spots for a well-earned pastry or beer. All in all, this is a super-scenic and smooth ride—perfect for anyone looking to stretch their legs and soak up some classic Bavaria!
