The Danube cycleway

A guidebook to cycling the 1261km of the Danube Cycleway from Budapest, Hungary, through the former Yugoslav states of Croatia and Serbia, and on into Romania. The route, which is mainly level cycling, is well within the capabilities of most cycle tourists. It can be comfortably completed in three to four weeks.

The route is described in 29 stages (ranging from 24-66km, averaging less than 44km/stage), and passes through Germany, Austria and Hungary. It utilises EuroVelo route 6 (EV6) and (mostly) follows well-surfaced cycle tracks, often along the riverbank or flood dykes.
