Cycling Along the Danube River - Passau to Vienna May 2019
Рет қаралды 39,317
4 жыл бұрынThis video chronicles our 8 day cycling trip along the Danube River in May 2019. We rented two bikes in Passau and cycled our way to Vienna. It's downhill all the way so the going was easy. Daily distances ranged from 40-60 km. and total distance was about 350 km. Austria and especially the bicycle route along the Danube River is perfectly suited for this kind of travel and they take kindly to tourists on bicycles. Sooooo many places to stop for coffee, beer and snacks along the road.
Itinerary:
1 Passau
2 Fahrner Sculptures, Wesenufer
3 Schlogener Blick, Wilhering Abby, Linz
4 Marien Dom , Grein
5 Bike Museum, Pochlarn PowerDam, Melk
6 Melk Abbey , Krems
7 Piarist Church, Tulln
8 Vienna , Klosterneuburg
Logistics:
Bike rentals from Fahrradklinik in Passau. Solid, reliable bikes and very helpful staff. We paid to have the bikes picked up in Klosterneuburg. We would use them again.
All the hotels were booked by my wife in advance.
We started this trip in Vienna and took a train to Passau. And of course cycled all the way back to Vienna!
Music:
Al Stewart - The Black Danube
Carlo Ambrosio Fabio Di Bari - Bicycle Galop 1
Kevin Macleod - Austrian Zither Landler
Molto Cortese - Danube Anniversary Song
Silvio Piersanti - Bicycle
Sounds Effects Best Library - Bicycle (Fahrrad)
Stephane Wrembel - Buster Swing
Stephane Wrembel - Les Flots Du Danube
Swing De Gitanes - Danube

I just finished a Viking cruise along this route. I would sit and look at the shore, all the cyclists going up and down the river trail, and was envious of them. Looks like so much fun!

For some reason KZfaq served up this video to me. And I watched the whole thing imagining myself doing the same trip. I confess I also had a crush on Katherine after the first video. But I still enjoyed the boys cycling trip to Italy video, so maybe also a crush on Mr Muskox. I've now also seen your videos on the Via Alta and Vietnam. I love the gypsy swing in some videos and modern music choice to accompany the Vietnam video. And your slideshow/video editing choices. Thank you for being intrepid travellers rather than travel 'influencers'.

Dear Katherine and Ron, i just saw your video with my rental bikes on. Thanks a lot for this wonderful video. It seems that you enjoyed your holiday. Hopefully my bikes could bring a little part to your pleasure. Best regards and please recommend my to all your friends Matthias Drasch, Fahrradklinik Passau
@muskoxman5588 2 жыл бұрын
Fahrradklinik was the best Matthias! Your bikes and accessories were perfectly suited for the trip. Being able to ride to Vienna and leave our bikes there at the prearranged Hotel was a bonus. Keep well and perhaps we'll see you again in the future. Ron

Don’t know if you still follow this, but we are doing the same trip, same rental company and staying at Hotel Salmeyer. We are camping thought- in our 70’s- we’ll see. We were thinking of staying two nights in Krems to explore the Wachau more and riding from Krems to Hotel Salmeyer on the last day, and not staying in Tullin. What would you think of that- is tullin worth a night stay. Thanks for the video- it has been very helpful!

We were there about a week later, the end of May. We boarded the Theodor Kormer river cruise cycle tour in Passau and toured through the same area. Loved it.

Hello, thank you for the great video. We are in the planning stages of same trip. Did you compare costs of bike and barge company vs booking your own accommodation, meals and bike rental?

Great job. I enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing it with us. One question: "did you use a self guided company for your trip, or plan it yourself"? If you use a company, may I ask for the name of your tour company? Thank you.
@muskoxman5588 7 ай бұрын
We organized the trip by ourselves. In that I mean we booked all the hotels ourselves. The bikes were rented in Passau from a bike shop. Their website is fahrradklinik-passau.de. Bikes were excellent. Got paniers and front bags and paid extra for the drop off in Vienna. Hope you have a great time.

Very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing. Your video provides useful info such as bike shops, lodging, city names, and routes. I can’t wait to bike-tour Europe. What are the lessons you have learned? Any thing to avoid or wish you have or haven’t done? Thank you.

Can't say I would change anything about the cycling trip. You don't need a lot of luggage when you travel like this since you're wearing the same cycling clothes everyday. Bring rain gear , change of clothes and shoes and a credit card! We booked all the hotels ourselves and all the places we stayed were wonderful. Hope you have a great trip!

I very much like the way you have made this video. I hate all these youtube-videos where you cannot see peoples faces, because they are wearing helmets and sunglasses. Not to mention the awful background popmusic that in general is also very annoying. In this respect, your video stands out in a positive way, including the cheerfulness and humor that sometimes show.

@muskoxman5588 2 жыл бұрын
Glad you enjoyed the video. No cons to speak of. Everything went smoothely. There was always some place to stop and have a coffee and a snack. We didn't have our luggage transported. The paniers on the bikes were more than enough to carry the extra change of clothes, raingear and shoes we needed for the whole trip. You can rent the bikes yourselves and book the hotels yourself like we did. Take your time and have a great ride!

Is it possible to pedal along the paths that you pedaled with an ebike? is allowed?

Yes. When we were there we saw people pass us on EBikes.

Great video. How many miles per day did you do? Fortunately, I have all the time I need. You did in eight days, would it be nice to take longer? Thanks
@henrykaspar3634 3 жыл бұрын
Only if you want to stay longer somewhere. 8 days is very comfortable (you can do it in 3-4 if you have to).
