Hardly any region is as diverse as the Danube region in Upper Austria. From the wooded riverbanks in the Upper Danube Valley over the fertile plains of the Eferding Basin and the Machland to the rugged rock formations in the once so feared Strudengau.
The breathtaking natural landscape is to be conquered step by step, meanwhile spotting incredible panoramic views of the river from above.
450 kilometers Donausteig
Along both banks from Passau via Linz to Grein, the Donausteig leads through diverse natural and cultural landscapes. Hikers encounter marvelous legendary figures, impressive landscapes, and unique cultural treasures on the way. It is evident - the Donausteig is simply legendary!
Divided into 2 routes:
From Passau via Linz to Grein, the Donausteig leads over the North and South routes. To give a better overview of the Donausteig, it has been divided into 23 stages.
49 Donausteig loops
Branching off from the main route are numerous paths into the surroundings of the Danube, enabling an even more intense experience of the region. The 49 Donausteig loops are perfect for day trips, as these circular routes always return to the starting point.
Optimal integration of train, bus, and ship
Excursion hikers are thus facilitated in arrival and the return to the starting point.
The Donausteig is ideal for:
- Long-distance hikers/stage hikers
- Excursion hikers
- Families
- Leisure hikers
Hiking in the realm of legends & art on the Donausteig:
120 Danube legends, retold by Helmut Wittmann and illustrated by Jakob Kirchmayr, are displayed on overview boards. In the open-air gallery on the Donausteig, metal sculptures by artist Miguel Horn can be admired at special places.
Donausteig hosts
Many hotels, guesthouses, and inns in the Bavarian-Upper Austrian Danube region are “Donausteig hosts.” As specialists in hiking holidays along the Donausteig, they conform to defined quality criteria.
Target group-oriented package offers
The bookable package offers are aimed at different types of hiking holidaymakers and divided into various categories so that every guest quickly finds the package adapted to their needs.
