Handbike tour with light electric assistance along the Danube Cycle Path from Passau to Vienna in 5 stages.
The tour is generally easy to ride, on paved paths. In Engelhartszell, it’s better to take the left bank of the Danube; the right bank is hilly.
There are some challenges before Grein, including two very steep sections ( approx. 10 meters). After Melk, when switching to the left bank of the Danube, there is a very steep climb up to the bridge (18%). The surfaces through the towns are often cobblestone.
The ferries are accessible by handbike. However, the descent to the ferry is usually very steep on rough cobblestones. Two accompanying persons are usually necessary here.

A somewhat endurance-demanding hike, in parts of which a well-conditioned companion is absolutely necessary. The Nature Experience Island of the Upper Austrian Nature Conservation Association can also be visited alone by wheelchair users and is also suitable for older people due to the sufficiently available seating. A good overview of the entire protected area and also a good opportunity for birdwatching can be found from the viewpoint. The use of binoculars is definitely recommended.
