The Danube bicycle route between Passau and Vienna ranks as Europe's best-known and most-loved cycling route - and for good reason. No other section of the river offers as diverse a range of landscapes and cultural landmarks or as many historical sites. Tranquil valleys, fertile plains, and steep vineyards line the banks of one of Europe's great rivers, where pretty farms and glorious abbeys stand side-by-side. The loop of the Danube at Schlögen, the abbey at Melk, and the romantic Wachau wine-producing region are just some of the highlights along the 330 kilometer route.

Just over 500 kilometres in length, the route from Prague to Magdeburg offers a great mix of impressions and experiences, taking you though a change of landscapes, cultures and historic highlights - all in an easy-to-reach part of central Europe. A perfect blend of adventure, relaxed cycling, natural landscapes and a cultural and historic journey of great interest await you: Two great cultural capitals - Prague and Dresden, charming Bohemian and Saxon towns, palaces and castles, porcelain from Meissen, the Saxon Wine Road, Martin Luther's city Wittenberg, the Elbe's wide flood-plains and, as a concluding highlight, the old city of Magdeburg.

To properly live, breathe and experience history - that is the goal of the "Iron Curtain Trail". From the Barents Sea to the Black Sea, this guide takes you along the Western border of the former Warsaw Pact countries, all the way across Europe. The route does not just connect European culture, history and sustainable tourism but it also provides historically-interested cyclists with some spectacularly beautiful and varied landscapes and unique habitats that were able to emerge in the former border strip, which is today the European Green Belt. This volume describes the 1,700-kilometre-long part of the route which is identical to the Baltic Sea Cycle Route from Riga to Lübeck. The maps are scaled at 1:85,000.

Der Schwäbische Alb Radweg entführt Sie in eine faszinierende Kulturlandschaft und ein geologisches Wunderland. Zudem umweht die Schwäbische Alb als Fundstätte der ältesten Kunstwerke und Musikinstrumente der Menschheit seit jeher etwas Mythisches und Geheimnisvolles. Gespeist wird dieses Flair auch aus dem Gegensatz zwischen dicht besiedeltem Albvorland und der relativ einsamen Albhochfläche. Der markante Steilabfall des Albtraufs, der bereits von Eduard Mörike im 19. Jahrhundert als "Blaue Mauer" literarisch verewigt wurde, trennt diese beiden so unterschiedlichen Landschaften.Im munteren Wechsel verläuft die Route mal auf der Hochfläche mit ihren typischen Wacholderheiden, mal am Fuß des Albtraufs durch üppige Streuobstwiesen und erschließt dabei in der eindrucksvollen Karstlandschaft zahlreiche geologische Phänomene wie Meteoritenkrater, Vulkanrelikte sowie Fossilienfundstätten. Obendrein laden immer wieder hübsche Fachwerkstädtchen, Stauferburgen, prächtige Schlossanlagen, sakrale Bauten von Weltrang und nicht zuletzt auch die gemütlichen Gasthäuser zum Verweilen ein.

In ancient times the Danube bordered the Roman Empire, later the river was the lifeline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the Iron Curtain separated countries and ended the economic and cultural connection of the countries till 1989. The changeful history of the countries at the Danube cycle route between Vienna and Bratislava cannot only be seen in cities like Bratislava, Györ or Esztergom, but also right next to the route at the roman excavations at Petronell-Carnuntum. The cycling tourist can look forward to excellent cycling paths on the dykes that line the Danube which leads him through its floodplains. Not less scenic is the Danube's Bend near Visegrád where the river turns south and is headed to Hungarian capital city, Budapest.
