Itinerary

It is recommended to arrive early. This metropolis on the Danube has plenty to offer and it is worth to stay there for a longer time. Enjoy a cup of coffee and the typical Vienna cake „Sachertorte“ in one of the numerous coffee houses or treat yourself to a roundtrip with the horse-drawn cab „Fiaker“.

The first distance of your bike trip guides you through the national park Donau-Auen. There you will get to know the diversity of the flora and fauna as well as the manifold types of landscape. You pass the castle Orth and the village Eckertsau and reach Bad Deutsch Altenburg.

From Bad Deutsch Altenburg/Hainburg you can make an excursion on the Roman bike trail (Römerweg) to Carnuntum. The archaeological park is regarded as one of the most significant archaeological sites in Austria. After Hainburg you reach the border to Slovakia and it´s capital city Bratislava that is your next overnight stay. The shorter distance today allows plenty of time to visit the old part of this charming city.

You cycle a short distance in Slovak territory before you pass the Hungarian border in Rajká. Within the first few kilometers of your cycle trip in Hungary you will discover charming villages. The complete section is influenced by agriculture. Your route guides you through the so-called Szigetköz (a small Rye Island). This is characterized by numberless side arms of the Danube. After arrival in Mosonmagyaróvár, which is also called „City of 17 bridges“, your today´s cycle tour ends. Via train to Györ.

Soon you reach the Hungarian Böny. From there a route version guides you to Bábolna, a well cultivated town with a beautiful inner city. The local National Stud is known far beyond its borders. Racehorses are bred in the splendid inner courtyard. The last part of the route takes you back to the Danube. Then you reach the divided town Komárom/Komárno. At night you can relax in the spa.

Today´s route runs near riverbanks in the flat Danube valley. In the course of this you pass different villages and while cycling you can view the vineyards in the background. The sporty bikers can choose a route over Tata but there are some increases. This requires a basic level of fitness. Those interested in history should plan time for the Roman castle Kelemantia which is on the way. Via ship to Estergrom and tour to Visegrád.

Today you cycle to the hungary town Budapest. You have enough time to enjoy the city.

In the Hungarian capital city there are many things to discover. If you are interested in we would be pleased to book some extra nights for you. Our transfer from Budapest to Vienna is very comfortable (this can be arranged at additional charge).

The route

In Hungary mostly on a little used side streets, short pieces on high streets. Up to a few short increases the distance runs mostly flat.

Schöne Erfahrung
Eine sehr durchdacht organisierte und vor Ort perfekt umgesetzte Radreise. Die Streckenführung ist optimal, auch wenn wir uns vorgestellt hätten, noch mehr direkt an der Donau entlang zu fahren. Die Räder waren neuwertig und von hoher Qualität, sehr angenehm zu fahren.

Spannende Reise entlang der Donau
Die Reise zwischen den beiden grossen Städten Wien und Budapest und dazwischen den weiten Ebenen der Donau ist sehr eindrucksvoll. Die Temperaturen waren hoch. Doch die Strecke ist bis auf wenige Teilstrecken sehr angehm zu fahren.

Sehr schöne Unterkünfte , zentral gelegen ..Prima Radreisende, absolut empfehlenswerte Tour
Einzig das Hotel Peklo in Komárno hat uns nicht zugesagt. Muffiges Zimmer und kein schönes Ambiente, in die Jahre gekommen und ungepflegt. Frühstück nicht erwähnenswert … Für das Unterstellen der Räder in einer völlig leeren Tiefgarage wurde eine Gebühr erhoben … Nochmals loben möchte ich die Notrufhotline des Veranstalters Radreisefreunde .. Frau Mona Scheffler hat durch freundliches, hilfreiches vermitteln und einer rettenden Idee unsere Weiterfahrt —trotz Plattfuß an einem Samstag Abend -ermöglichst. Unsere supernetter Reiseansprechpartner Nicolas hat den Transport zu einer Werkstatt übernommen und dafür Gebühren erhoben.. Die unkomplizierte , nette Art und Weise der Problemlösung hat mich sehr gefreut und unseren Urlaub gerettet… Vielen Dank nochmal den beiden…

Ein schönes Feedback, vielen Dank für Ihre ausführliche Schilderung. Wir freuen uns immer, wenn unsere Kunden abschließend so positiv bewerten. Es tut uns leid, dass Sie eine Unterkunft dabei hatten, die nicht gefallen hat. Wir leiten Ihre Kritik gerne an unseren Partner weiter, das ist ein hilfreicher Tipp. Wir sind ebenfalls sehr froh, dass Sie das Pech mit Ihrem Platten durch hilfreiche Kolleg:innen lösen konnten. Unsere Hotline ist für alle Gäste da, auch für die mit eigenen Rädern - nur dann eben gegen eine Aufwandsentschädigung.
