Grein is easily accessible and explored by bicycle and lies directly on the Danube Cycle Path (EuroVelo 6). This historic town on the Danube is a popular stop for cyclists and offers a well-developed, flat cycling infrastructure along the river. The town center, the riverbanks, and attractions such as Greinburg Castle, the Grein town wall, and the historic town theater are all easily reached from the cycle path. Rest areas, restaurants, and cyclist-friendly businesses make Grein an attractive destination for day trips as well as longer cycling tours along the Danube.

Grein an der Donau is a worthwhile stop for cyclists on the Strudengau Route or the Danube Cycle Path. The town boasts Greinburg Castle, the oldest residential castle in Austria, the historic town theater, and the Gothic parish church. A special sundial on the Danube promenade invites you to linger. The picturesque town square offers cafés and restaurants for refreshments. A bicycle ferry allows for onward travel to the other side of the Danube. Grein combines nature, culture, and history and is a worthwhile destination or a lovely detour for cyclists.

Beautiful old town with the Greinburg castle complex. Right at the entrance to the town there is a cozy café called Schörgi, where you can also sit outside. Usually easy to find as there are always lots of bikers there. The ice cream is definitely one of the best in the area and definitely recommended.

Worth seeing is the central square of the historic town of Grein, which is known for its charming old town and proximity to the Danube, making it a popular destination for cyclists exploring the Wachau region. The town square is surrounded by well-preserved medieval and baroque buildings, which give the district a quaint and picturesque atmosphere. Worth visiting as a destination on a tour or as a detour from the main route!

The Wolfsschlucht is a great tip with beautiful vegetation and you come out right at Kreuzen Castle. I can only warmly recommend it 👍.
