The Danube is exciting, diverse, idyllic, and relaxing all at once. The Danube Cycle Path in Germany stretches for just over 600 kilometers , easily manageable in individual day trips . Whether you're looking for a sporty ride or a leisurely tour with the whole family, the Danube is the perfect cycling destination for everyone.
The longest tributary of the Danube, the Breg, originates in the Black Forest. From the north, another small river, the Brigach, meanders towards it. Paradoxically, the Danube actually ends in Donaueschingen at its source. This is because the Danube is the only European river besides the Moselle whose kilometer markers are measured upstream. Did you know that, at 2.845 kilometers from its source in Donaueschingen, the Danube is, along with the Volga, one of the longest rivers in Europe and flows through ten countries? If not, hop on your bike and start cycling!
