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.

Café Konditorei Schörgi in Grein is a traditional café located directly on the Danube. It is known for its expertly prepared pastries, handmade ice cream specialties, and cozy atmosphere. The café also offers a wide selection of gateaux, cakes, and chocolates, including classics such as Kardinalschnitte (cardinal slice) and Eismarillenknödel (apricot dumplings), as well as breakfast variations, soups, toasted sandwiches, and seasonal salads. A cozy outdoor dining area with a view of the Danube and vegan-friendly options round out the offerings. The café is therefore ideal for a sweet break or a relaxing stopover on bike tours.
