Stage overview Passau Vienna
If you want to drive between 40 and 60 km every day, where do you have to stay?
The table below lists the 7 stages from Passau to Vienna. For each stage the start and end as well as the km are given. In the far right column you can see the total kilometers driven. This means that when you arrive in Grein, for example, you have already covered 212 of the total of 333 km and between Linz and Grein you have therefore exceeded half the distance from Passau to Vienna.
From Passau to Vienna you cover a total of around 333 km on the Danube Cycle Path if you choose the route we have suggested. This corresponds to an average of 48 km per day. Sometimes it's a little more, sometimes a little less. For example the Stage 5 from Melk to Krems is only 36 km long. This is because you ride between Melk and Krems through the Wachau, the most beautiful section of the Danube Cycle Path Passau Vienna. In the Wachau, you should also have time to stop and admire the beautiful landscape over a glass of Wachau wine.
The division of the Danube Cycle Path Passau Vienna into 7 daily stages has shifted to fewer but slightly longer daily stages due to the increase in e-bikes. The table below lists the places where you have to stay overnight if you want to cycle from Passau to Vienna in 6 days.

You can see from the table that if you cycle an average of 54 km daily on the Danube Cycle Path Passau Vienna, on the 4th day you will cycle from Grein to Spitz an der Donau in der Wachau instead of Grein to Melk. A place to stay in the Wachau is recommended because the section between Melk and Krems is the most beautiful of the entire route.
If you cover an average of 54 km a day on the Danube Cycle Path Passau Vienna and only need 6 days for the tour in this way, then you have the opportunity to spend a day in the area of the most beautiful section of the entire Danube Cycle Path, in the Wachau, before continuing.
You will find that most of the Danube Cycle Path tours offered from Passau to Vienna last 7 days. However, if you want to be on the road for fewer days and want to cycle where the Danube Cycle Path is most beautiful, then we recommend cycling from Passau to Linz in 2 days and then 2 days in the Wachau.
