Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Straubing à Deggendorf

This scenic cycling route takes you from the historic town of Straubing, right on the banks of the Danube, all the way to Deggendorf—known as the “Gateway to the Bavarian Forest.” Covering about 40 km, the ride is gentle, with just a bit of ascent and descent, making it accessible for most cyclists.

You’ll breeze along mostly paved and asphalt paths, with a pleasant mix of quiet roads and separate cycleways, so you can really enjoy the countryside without worrying much about traffic. Expect classic Bavarian landscapes—fields, distant forests, and the occasional charming village.

Straubing itself is famous for its medieval town square and annual Gäubodenvolksfest (think Oktoberfest vibes, but more local). Once you arrive in Deggendorf, you’ll find a charming old town and easy access to trails leading deeper into the Bavarian Forest if you’re feeling adventurous.

Perfect for a day trip or a leisurely ride!
