Cycling day trip from Passau to Feldkirchen an der Donau

This scenic cycling route takes you from the charming city of Passau, known as the “City of Three Rivers,” all the way downstream to Feldkirchen an der Donau, nestled along the banks of the Danube. The ride covers about 76 kilometers and meanders mostly along quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, making for a relaxing day in the saddle. You’ll tackle some rolling terrain—expect a few hills, but nothing too daunting, with overall ascent and descent balancing each other nicely.

Passau’s beautiful old town is famous for its Italianate architecture, and if you have time before you set off, pop into St. Stephen’s Cathedral to hear its world-renowned organ. As you follow the Danube, there are plenty of postcard-worthy views and little villages where you can stop for a snack.

Feldkirchen an der Donau is a popular spot for cyclists, thanks to its tranquil lakes and riverside chill-out spots. Perfect for a swim or lakeside beer after your ride! Almost the entire route is paved, and with very little time on busy roads, this is an idyllic way to spend a day exploring Austria and Germany by bike.
