Danube Cycle Path

Current Information

Stage 5 South Bank (Melk–Mautern): The Danube Cycle Path in the Aggstein area is completely closed.
Cyclists can use the road if it is open.

The road will be completely closed from 9 February to 3 April 2026, Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. During these periods, cyclists will not be able to pass through. Outside these times, half of the road will be open to traffic with traffic lights. The construction work will last from 2 February to 29 May 2026 at the latest.

During total closures, diversions will be signposted on site. The Danube can be crossed via the bridges in Melk or Mautern or, alternatively, by ferry in Spitz.

Weißenkirchen area: From the end of October 2025 to the beginning of April 2026, the Danube Cycle Path will be closed due to construction work in the centre of Weißenkirchen. A diversion via the path at the Danube has been set up.

Mautern-Krems area: Due to construction works at Hotel Schloss Mautern, the Danube Cycle Path will be closed in the city area from May 2025 to April 2027. A signed detour is in place.

The Danube Cycle Path is one of the most scenic cycling routes in Europe. It extends for about 1,200 kilometers from Donaueschingen in Germany to the Hungarian capital of Budapest.

The Danube Cycle Path also winds its way through Austria, running parallel to the mighty river. There are a total of 410 enjoyable kilometers from the German city of Passau to Bratislava on the border to Slovakia. Of that total, 260 kilometers run through the Lower Austrian Danube region, a wonderful treasure indeed. Tow paths, well-cared-for bike paths and quiet village streets connect both banks of the river. Rest stops with comfortable pergolas for cyclists are inviting places to stop and kick back for a while.
