Travel Details

Tour Profile:

Level 1, the Danube Bicycle Path offers nearly carefree cycling and an ideal way to view the region. It's downstream,  paved and almost traffic-free, following an old horse path where teams of horses once struggled to tow barges upstream; it's very suitable for beginners and children.

Day 1: Linz

A warm welcome is awaiting children and adults alike. Check-in. Dispersal of travel documents will follow. The rest of the day is up to you and at your leisure. Possibilities: let yourself be drifted away into a different world where you and your children can experience a new type of travel on the Dragon Train through the Land of Dwarves with a magical backdrop of the historical and stunning city of Linz.

Day 2: Linz – Mitterkirchen, approx. 43 km

Today we tour into a Celtic Open-air Museum.  In a village representing the Iron Age, you are shown and presented the ways of living and lifestyles of the long past. Accommodations for this night will be in a cosy farmhouse in the region of Machland. Dinner will be served with exceptional hospitality and catered with delicious Austrian homemade specialties.
