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.

Today, even the wind was with us. After a bit of a delay, we found a gas station in Donauwörth that had a steam cleaner to clean our dirty bikes, but after unloading all our luggage, we discovered that the cleaner wasn't working. So we continued on, dirty. My Naviki app wasn't working either, so I used Maria's phone to …

Day 4 Ulm to Donauwörth

29 km Frauenkirch Günzbue with ice cream

When we left Ulm behind and made our way to Donauwörth, the anticipation of the next stage of our journey was palpable. Ulm had fascinated us with its impressive cathedral and historic old town, but now we were tempted by new adventures along the Danube Cycle Path.

Had very pleasant weather today. We drove through some very pretty towns - Lauingen and Dillingen are really worth seeing. As usual, not much elevation gain. Only the last 25km go through endless farmland. I wouldn't have thought that you could be so far away from everything anywhere in Germany these days :D. All in all, very nice, but at …

Had a lot of luck today despite the rain on the first 10 km! Getting prettier by the hour! And just as I arrived at the hotel, a mighty thunderstorm started! 🌩

Well, what should I say!?

Day 4:
Another very interesting and strenuous day. The various small towns along the route are partly truly fantastic. Riding around them is not an option.

As one or the other may have already thought, it makes more sense to ride in the opposite direction along the Danube. If you ride with the river, you have a slight downhill. In …
