The varied bike route starts at the Danube promenade in Krems and leads through beautiful forest areas up to Stixendorf. Via Weinzierl am Walde and through the idyllic Grubach valley, we reach the dreamy wine village of Weißenkirchen, where cozy alleys invite you to linger. Always along the Danube, we continue to the romantic town of Dürnstein with its famous castle ruin. Accompanied by wonderful views of the Danube and the surrounding vineyards, we return via Unterloiben to the picturesque Wachau metropolis of Krems.
Author’s recommendation
A visit to the historic town center of Krems, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, is highly recommended. Krems also received the Europa Nostra Diploma, one of the highest international awards, for its exemplary old town renovation.
