Excursión ciclista de un día de Passau a Linz

Get ready for a beautiful bike ride from the “Three Rivers City” of Passau to Austria’s lively Linz! This roughly 100 km journey mostly follows quiet roads and cycleways, making for a relaxed spin with ample opportunity to soak up scenic views of the Danube as you roll gently from Germany into Austria.

With nearly 95% of your route on smooth, paved surfaces (mostly asphalt!), you’ll spend more time enjoying the ride than dodging potholes. Passau, your starting point, sits idyllically at the confluence of the Danube, Inn, and Ilz rivers and is crowned by the impressive Veste Oberhaus fortress—well worth a look before you set off. The route itself is speckled with charming riverside villages, lush meadows, and rolling hills, meaning you’ll tally up a decent ascent before the rewarding downs.

Cruise into historic Linz, a city that mixes old-world architecture with modern creativity (don’t miss the riverside art installations or Linzer Torte if you’re peckish after the ride). Grab a coffee along the Danube and enjoy the urban vibes at the end of your picturesque journey!
