    This gravel tour was a great adventure for us. We started the tour in Passau following the Donau to Regensburg. This gave us two days to to get us a little into it. It broke the part of the Donau into two, we ended the tour in 8 days in Passau. Instead of following the GPX we sometimes followed the indications of the official cycling tours to stay away from busy traffic.

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