Danube Cycle Path Near Günzburg

Highlight • Cycleway

Here you can drive a few kilometers directly along the Danube embankment. For me, this is a welcome change, as the official Danube Cycle Route is often a bit away from the Danube.

View of the Danube and Günzburg

Highlight • Viewpoint

"GÜNZ": derives from a Celtic river goddess named "Guntia" (or "Contia" and "Gontia").

At the southernmost point of the Günz Valley, at an elevation of 802 m above sea level, lies the source of the eastern Günz. After 39 km, the watercourse joins the western Günz near Lauben and then forms the actual Günz, which flows into the Danube after another 55 km near Günzburg.

Danube Riverside Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Beautiful gravel roads, most of which are easy to drive on. I recommend a good map (I use a download map on my phone here). The signposted Danube Cycle Path leads away from the Danube again and again. Sometimes it pays to stay on the Danube.
