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.
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.
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.
Old markets and castles nestled in forested rolling hills are along the path on your way to Strudengau. In the Maritime Museum of Grein, you will find impressive models of ancient ship building craftsmanship and early naval architecture. In Ardagger there is a paradise of recreation and pleasure. A water park recreational facility and sandy beach volleyball courts are just the beginning of the endless possibilities for fun and action. Enjoy!
Shortly after Pöchlarn, you will enter into the world-renowned Valley of the Wachau, one of the most gorgeous riverside landscapes Europe has to offer. The impressive and breath-taking Benedictine Abbey of Melk overlooks the city and can be seen from afar. Cycling through the seemingly endless vineyards you will reach the winery village of Spitz, built around the so-called "Thousand-bucket-hill”.
You can enjoy the beautiful landscape of the Wachau. The children can go swimming in the pool or can play inthe hotel garden. Explore one of the numerous wine cellars in this wonderful wine region.
