Trip Summary

This longer (several days long) bike trip started in Wien and "upstream" along the Donau (the first stretch was along the Donaukanal until I came to the Donau in the north of Wien. From there, I followed the Donau for a long stretch, first in northern direction, changing more and more into a western direction, arriving in Greifenstein and then in Tulln about 90 minutes after the start in Wien. Continuing further (on the southern side of the Donau), I passed by the never really operated nuclear power plant in Zwentendorf before cycling further. A little more than 3 hours after starting in Wien, I arrived in Traismauer for a first substantial break. From there, my trip brought me further to Krems and Wachau, where I changed to cycle on the northern side of the Donau. I crossed the beautiful Wachau valley, cycling along the Donau. After a short visit to Melk I continued further westwards and called it a day near Ybbs (after about 150km on this day 1).
