Cycling the Danube

From the river's source in Germany down to the Black Sea it is about 3,000 kilometers. On it's way, the Danube crosses half of Europe. CYCLING THE DANUBE invites stakeholders and interested participants from the public to bike the Danube Corridor on the dykes and to visit protected areas along the Danube.

A trip to the natural treasures along the Danube

The Danube-wide flood prevention dyke here evolves from its origin as flood prevention infrastructure to Green Infrastructure, linking valuable protected areas along the Danube. The flood prevention dyke along the Danube presents a "corridor" not exclusively for animals and plants, but also for people while more and more tourists use the Danube cycling path for cycling and recreation.

We would like to inspire more people to cycle along the Danube cycle path. The cycle path provides excellent conditions for all kinds of cycling, from leisurely paced cycling to even road cycling. The Danube cycle path is the perfect place for cycling holidays. Along the Danube route you can cross almost 3.000 kilometers while visiting 10 Danube countries and 17 breathtaking protected areas along the Danube.

The Danube cycle path is waiting for you!
