The tour is mostly flat with rolling hills that are sometimes slightly steep. The Austrian section follows well maintained and equipped cycle pathes directly mainly close to the river banks, in Hungary you will often cycle on quiet country backroads. On entering and leaving cities there is, of course, traffic that must be observed!
