Along the Inn into the town of Passau where 3 rivers meet. We highly recommend a tour around town including a visit to the dome (biggest church organ in the world). Along the Danube via Obernzell and Engelhartszell (the only Austrian Trappist monastery) and then through the nature reserve Donauleiten until you get to the ”Schlögener Schlinge” (river bend).

The well-known ”Schlögener Schlinge” (river bend) is one of many highlights on this particular cycle tour.
