The Passau to Budapest cycle along the Danube is one of those journeys where the scenery and the locations are forever changing, The journey is a mix of farmland, vineyards and cities, there is always a castle around the next corner mixed with picturesque towns with there churches and basilicas to explore. The standard of accommodation tended to vary depending on location however this was always clean with good amenities. Some of the cycle ways are custom built however there is a bit of navigation work to do in some areas particularly coming into and out of the towns and cities. We undertook this trip in June when the Danube was in flood and some of the cycle ways were underwater this meant a number of diversions, thank goodness for Google maps.
an excellent concept, linking prague with budapest with maximum sight seeing on a bike.more cycling on cycle paths, particularly along the Danube into Budapest would have enhanced this experience; better hotel, more central in Budapest- poor location, unhelpful staff, poor ending to holiday
Cycling Prague to Budapest This was a wonderful trip. The towns through Czech and the countryside into Vienna are beautiful. The Route flattens out once on the Danube and the scenery to Budapest is OK but the first part of the trip is the most scenic. It is pretty full on cycling and at times I felt like all I did was cycle, eat, sleep, but I really enjoyed it and came home much fitter than when I left.
