At Hooked on Cycling holidays, we have several fabulous cycling holidays in Austria. Our biking vacations in Austria allow you to explore Austria's wonderful regions. Austria, which is well known for its mountains and its winter skiing has also a lot to offer in the summer for the leisure cyclist. Austria over the last few years has spent a lot of money on cycle tourism, developing a vast network of quality cycle ways suitable for families and experienced cyclists alike. The network throughout Austria has allowed us to develop some fantastic cycle tours in different Austrian regions allowing for varied experiences. One of these along the River Danube is now Europe’s most popular cycle way. The landscape along the River Danube between Passau in Germany and Vienna in Austria is spectacular with densely wooded hills, vineyards and fruit plantations. The region is full of culture with a long 2000-year-old history. The route passes through famous towns and cities with history in abundance, not forgetting the great hotels and Inns, which we use where you can sample the Austrian hospitality and superb cuisine. The route mostly follows the Danube and is generally flat for most of its route. Please read more about our individual tours in Upper Austria, Salzkammergut, Salzburgerland, Styria and the Tyrol.
