Discover the beautiful cities of Budapest,
Bratislava and Vienna on this
fantastic bike ride along the banks of the River
Danube.
On this exciting 5 day event, we
will visit 3 countries and 3
capitals as we cycle through wonderful scenery along
the River Danube across an interesting mix of terrain including
quiet country roads, cycle paths and challenging
riverside paths.
The event starts in Budapest, Hungary.
Upon arrival in the city we will collect the bikes
and start the challenge by taking part in a bike
tour of the city - as a UNESCO
site it boasts several sights such as the Buda Castle
Quarter and Andrassy Avenue.
Day 2 gets off to an early start as we head out of the city
on quiet roads and forest trails. Today the route
passes through forested landscape, small villages
and farmland, before approaching the River
Danube in the afternoon.
En route we will pass Tata, the
"town of water" and Esterhazy
Castle, dating back to the Middle Ages. The day finishes
as we cross the bridge from the Hungarian half of the split
city of Komarom into Slovakian
Komarno.
The next days ride follows the River Danube and winds its
way through pretty farmland, before reaching the lively
capital of Slovakia, Bratislava on
the city’s impressive cycle path network.
The final day of cycling takes us along the Danube
Valley crossing the border into Austria,
the last of the 3 countries on this challenge! We cycle through
picturesque farmland dotted with ruined
hilltop castles, and a stunning section of the
Danube Wetlands National Park.
The ride ends on arrival in Vienna - the
final destination on this ride where we cross the finish line and
celebrate our achievement!
