    Additional Remarks:

    If the weather has mercy to us it should be a pleasant day. We could walk up Tausend-Eimer Berg at Spitz (only 200 m high or so) with a nice view down at Danube river and Wachau. Break at noon we could spend at at Heurigen around Spitz. Krems is a city with a lot of old (partly even medieval) houses, wonderfully restored. Dürnstein is a lovely little village with a famous ruin just behind. Not to mention other nice places in between. Bike trail is most of the time off the main road.
    Another option/alternative would be biking up Wachau and going back by ship (transportation of bikes is possible).

    Sign Up by giving us your:
