Biking on the Danube



For all those looking for a great weekend activity this fall, I highly recommend biking through the famous Wachau valley along the Danube river. During RA training week, we took the RA's on a bike route beginning in Spitz and going all the way to Durnstein and beyond. It was a spectacular day with stops at the local churches, vineyards, and castles.


We even had lunch at a local heuriger where they serve the new wine for the year along with other local Austrian specialties.

Spitz is only about a 1 hour drive from Gaming so the trip is definitely manageable as a day trip. Cost is only 12 Euro to rent a bike for the whole day or if you have a group, it drops to 9 Euro for the day.

Below are some pictures from our trip:
