    Vor Grein unbedingt die Brücke überqueren um rechts der Donau zu fahren, wie hier auch vorgeschlagen, ansonsten fährt man tatsächlich auf Bundesstraße

    Haben die Tour 2018 gemacht - neben der Radtour durch das Altmühltal definitiv unser Favorit! Einzig die Rückfahrt mit der Bahn nervt leider.

    Warum wird nicht empfohlen von Passau aus links der Donau auf dem sonnigen Radweg zu fahren, statt rechts der Donau auf der Bundesstraße?

    Eine wirklich wunderschöne Wanderung. An der Gobelwarte wird man dann zum ersten Mal mit einem schönen Blick auf die Donau belohnt und Grein ist sowieso die schönste Stadt an der Donau.
