Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Deggendorf à Passau

This scenic ride takes you from Deggendorf to Passau along roughly 63 km of mostly gentle terrain, perfect for cyclists of most skill levels. Starting in Deggendorf, known as the “Gateway to the Bavarian Forest,” you’ll roll out of a town famous for its charming riverside setting on the Danube and medieval old town.

Much of the route follows quiet roads and well-kept cycle paths, so you can relax and enjoy the countryside. Around 80% is smooth asphalt, but do keep an eye out for some gravel patches and the occasional rougher stretch, especially closer to the riverbanks. The ascent is mild, with just over 200 meters of climbing—expect gentle uphills rather than any serious hills.

Your journey ends in Passau, the famous “City of Three Rivers,” where the Danube, Inn, and Ilz converge. This historic town is packed with Baroque architecture and has a vibrant café scene perfect for a post-ride treat. Overall, this route offers a beautiful blend of riverside scenery, Bavarian charm, and relaxed cycling—definitely a ride to remember!
