Giro veloce in bici da Schärding a Passavia

Get ready for a scenic ride from Schärding to Passau! This 16.5 km route starts in the charming Austrian town of Schärding, famous for its colorful Baroque old town right on the Inn River—perfect for a pre-ride coffee.

You'll cover a good mix of surfaces: smooth asphalt and plenty of gravel (about 40%!), plus some quieter unpaved tracks. The ride is mostly on peaceful country roads and dedicated cycleways, keeping traffic stress to a minimum. Expect gentle ups and downs, climbing around 313 meters—nothing too extreme, but you’ll definitely earn those river views!

The route follows the course of the River Inn and takes you right into the heart of Passau, the stunning Bavarian “City of Three Rivers,” where the Danube, Inn, and Ilz meet. There’s lots to explore when you arrive: St. Stephen’s Cathedral, cobbled streets, and riverside cafés.

It’s a lovely ride for anyone who enjoys a mix of surfaces and some countryside charm. Don’t forget to bring a camera for those river vistas!
