The route, with moderate climbs, leads directly through the vineyards. The Danube flows some distance from the cycle path in this section, a little further down in the valley. A magnificent sight, with very, very beautiful scenery. 👌

Experienced a great day in the Wachau.
Wow, those flowers.
The bikes comfortably pushed through Dürnstein.
On the way back to my favorite place, Spitz an der Donau, we had an excellent meal at Gasthof Prankl.

Life is a hit 😃

Spectacular scenery but constant car noise. The cycle path mainly leads directly along the country road. That's why I shortened my tour. To the east along the Danube it is quieter.
