September 3, 2022,Handbike-Tour von Passau nach Englhartszell

Beautiful tour always along the Danube with very few inclines (exceptions see below), mostly on separate cycle paths.
It is best to park in the multi-storey car park in Ilzstadt, alternatively in the center of Passau.
Separate bike path to Obernzell, then continue on the road with little traffic to Jochenstein. The Engelhartszell ferry can only be reached on a …

September 5, 2024,Passau-Engelhardtzell-Passau an beiden Seiten der Donau

It is really beautiful on the Danube, unfortunately the ferry in Engelhartszell stops at 5.30pm, so we didn't have time for the town because we had to go back a bit. Then at the power station we were shocked that we had to climb the steps over tracks that were far too narrow, and the push aid didn't work properly. …

Our goal was to travel the Danube from Passau to Spitz in our motorhome. Our first stop was the campsite in Engelhartszell.
The first tour took us upstream from Engelhartszell to Passau. From the Engelhartszell campsite, we cycled along the right bank of the Danube to Passau. After a break and a stopover in the city center, we cycled back …

After the first kilometer, I came to the turnoff to the view of Passau from Cafe Blass, which was very nice up …

Plus 12 km 🤏🫣 forgot to set the app at the beginning of the tour. The tour can only be recommended, on the right side of the Danube and back on the left side. Passau is always worth a trip and the landscape is very varied 👌

Over 45 steep steps lead up past the Jochenstein power plant, over the large ship lock chambers, and then across the Danube to the other side.

We made it! Then we cycled on into the old town of Passau. We had lunch there before heading back to our campsite on the other side of the river. A fantastic tour to …
