Cyclists pass through the ancient city of Krems

The visitor to Austria finds an unrivalled eye-feast along the shores of the Danube. The constant stream of cyclists along the Donauradweg (the Danube Bicycle Path, running 300 km from Passau to Vienna), sometimes reminds you of "peak hour" in a major city. You can rent good bikes with top Shimano gears at over 160 railway stations throughout the country, and drop the bike off later at any other station. The one thing that will slow the cyclist down is the super-abundance of old churches, castles and wineries to see and experience .
