August 6, 2025,Donau 2025 Tag 7: Marbach <-> Grein

Our goal was to travel the Danube from Passau to Spitz in our motorhome. Our fifth stop was the Marbach campsite on the Danube.
The seventh tour took us from the Marbach campsite on the left bank of the Danube to Grein. The cycle path was fine up to Persenbeug and a bit further. But about seven kilometers before Grein, …

Always east.

We are now approaching the Wachau.
At the beginning of the day we still have to share the bike path with cars and trucks from time to time. As the bike path progresses, it becomes really beautiful and you can enjoy the surroundings. Today we camp again at the Melk campsite.
Small, family equipped with the essentials.

November 14, 2025,Auf dem Weg nach Wien - Grein nach Melk

Day two on the way to Vienna. 107km... max 5 degrees... no sun, no cyclists... dreary route, hardly any restaurants at this time of year, and now a stiff headwind. My first longer break was in Grein, in a great café. Then it was on to Ybbs. Time seems to have stood still here. Just 22km to go to Melk. …

Today we drove back to Ypps via Grein over the Danube bridge because there was no ferry. The detour to the former customs town was worth it. Customs were levied on wine and salt, among other things, and there is also a bicycle museum there. We continued via Krummnussbaum to Melk, where we had a fantastic meal at the Hotel …

June 8, 2025,[737] Donauradweg: Etappe 6 | Von Grein nach Melk 🌧️☔💧 🚲🚲 🧰☕🍰

Today is our first rainy day. It's pouring with rain. But our hair is holding up – I mean, the rain pants, rain jacket, and overshoes are doing their job and keeping us mostly dry. Only the rain gloves, supposedly completely waterproof, I can wring out afterward. At least my hands stayed warm 😄. When we arrive in Melk, our …

September 23, 2025,🇦🇹 Tag 4: Grein - Melk

It was supposed to rain today. It was raining during breakfast, too. When we set off, the rain stopped and stayed that way, yay!

The route today led directly along the Danube. The first half was beautiful. We went into the towns of Ybbs and Pöchlarn. Both were quite pretty. From Pöchlarn, we cycled either along the riverbank or along …

April 25, 2023,🇦🇹 Grein - Melk / Vom Winde verweht...

Nice route, which even the dark clouds can't harm... as long as you keep an eye on the clouds to "weather out" if necessary.

One possibility for this is e.g. the bicycle museum in Ybbs. Or a little later Pöchlarn (☕&🥧).

Melk Abbey is worth seeing, but it also takes some time to visit.

October 22, 2024,Von Grein nach Melk (Tag 9/11)

Today we went from Grein to Melk
We were told to drive straight to the right of the Danube (leave the Danube to the left) because you don't have to drive on roads that way.
Unfortunately the ferry didn't work and we had to drive back about 2 km.
It was still a relaxing tour
