Linz To Ybbs
Thursday - September 17th 2026
Yesterday we had returned from Disneyland Paris and today our second trip
during our one week vacation started already. A couple of years ago we rode
our bikes along the
Tauern Bike Trail
from Salzburg to Passau and from there along the
Danube Bike Trail
to Linz. For years we wanted to finish the Austrian part of the
Danube Bike Trail and so
we decided to do it this year. So early morning we took the train to Linz,
where we started our tour towards Vienna. After we arrived we stopped at a
lovely coffee house for breakfast and then it was finally time to hit the bike
trail. We left Linz on the northern side of the Danube until we reached a
small village, where we bought some snacks and food for lunch.

After we crossed the river at the Wallsee Hydro Power Plant to the southern
side of the Danube, we took a break at a lovely resting area and enjoyed our
snacks. Later we continued our bicycle tour and in the afternoon we arrived at
the beautiful village of Grein. For Grein we had to cross to the northern
side again, but it was worth the detour, because we stopped at
Cafe Schörgi for coffee and
cake. Then it was time for the last part towards Ybbs along the southern
Danube Bike Trail.

In the late afternoon we finally arrived in Ybbs and were really happy about
that, because it was already rather cold and the last kilometers weren't that
great to ride a bike since we had to share the street with cars. In Ybbs we
initially wanted to stay at hotel Babenbergerhof, but we got offered to stay
at the nicer
Donau Lodge for
a couple of Euros more. Of course we took the offer and got a beautiful room
for the night. Once we showered and refreshed we headed out and got drinks at
Pier 4. Claudia and I had already been to there just a couple of weeks ago when we
celebrated the finishig of out
Ybbstal Bike Trail
tour. After a couple of drinks it was time for dinner at
Gasthof Mang. The rest of the evening we spent watching TV and relaxing in our room.
