Description

This cycling tour from Freiburg to Vienna links the Black Forest, Upper Swabia, Bavaria and Austria into one rewarding eight-stage bikepacking route. Expect around 764 km and 5,700 m of climbing – from the high roads above Freiburg to Munich, Braunau am Inn, Linz and finally the Danube run into Vienna. Some days roll fast, others bite back, but it never gets dull: forests, river valleys, quiet villages, beer gardens, open farmland and a big-city finish that feels properly earned. A great fit if you are looking for a varied multi-day cycling tour from Germany to Austria.
