Cycling Holidays in Austria
The landscape of Austria may be best known for its Alpine scenery, but that doesn't make it a nightmare for the casual cyclist. There are plenty of great opportunities to explore the wonderful and varied terrain of this little country at the heart of Europe. Austria offers cyclists long stretches of flat roads surrounded by stunning green pastures, mighty forests and lovely lakes all overlooked by the Alps’ jagged peaks.
One of the most famous cycling routes in Central Europe is the spectacular journey along the Danube River from Passau, Germany to the Austrian capital, Vienna. This is a great ride though a thousand of years of history where you can explore countless landmarks, including beautiful castles, historic abbeys and Baroque palaces.
