Cycling

The Danube Cycle Path is a classic among river cycle paths. In Bavarian Swabia he starts in Ulm. There you have a wonderful view of the highest church tower in the world, which adorns the Ulm Minster, from the Neu-Ulm shore side.

Danube Cycle Path (Donauradweg) near Ulm

Highlight • Cycleway

Very nice bike path right next to the Danube with a great road surface. Although in some places separate the paths for cyclists and pedestrians, is still very much going on anyway. So be careful and considerate.

St. Peter and Paul Abbey Church, Oberelchingen

Highlight • Religious Site

The monastery church is an impressive building. Inside one can not get enough of it. A huge work of art!

May 16, 2022,4. Tag: Von Ulm nach Donauwörth - Donau-Radweg

Had a lot of luck today despite the rain on the first 10 km! Getting prettier by the hour! And just as I arrived at the hotel, a mighty thunderstorm started! 🌩

Well, what should I say!?

WHEN ANGELS TRAVEL... 😇😇😇

Today, even the wind was with us. After a bit of a delay, we found a gas station in Donauwörth that had a steam cleaner to clean our dirty bikes, but after unloading all our luggage, we discovered that the cleaner wasn't working. So we continued on, dirty. My Naviki app wasn't working either, so I used Maria's phone to …

Day 4 Ulm to Donauwörth

29 km Frauenkirch Günzbue with ice cream

When we left Ulm behind and made our way to Donauwörth, the anticipation of the next stage of our journey was palpable. Ulm had fascinated us with its impressive cathedral and historic old town, but now we were tempted by new adventures along the Danube Cycle Path.

The longest tour on the Danube so far. Some very long stretches through open fields and lots of slurry truck traffic 🥳 but also some very beautiful long stretches directly along the Danube 😀

August 26, 2024,Donauradweg 4 Ulm nach Donauwörth

Had very pleasant weather today. We drove through some very pretty towns - Lauingen and Dillingen are really worth seeing. As usual, not much elevation gain. Only the last 25km go through endless farmland. I wouldn't have thought that you could be so far away from everything anywhere in Germany these days :D. All in all, very nice, but at …

It's 90 km from Ulm to Donauwörth. The route often leads along the dike, mostly on designated bike paths. The final section, however, leads to Donauwörth on country roads. It wouldn't be so bad if the road edges weren't so jagged.

November 19, 2023,Von Ulm nach Donauwörth

For this Sunday I didn't want to make things too difficult for myself, the motto was: the main thing is to get out. So I looked for a route with a tailwind. The Danube kindly had just the right thing on offer. So I got in the car, took the train from Donauwörth to Ulm and got on my bike …

In the morning we had a quick look at Ulm Minster and then hit the trail. The weather was kind to us again today and was fine apart from a small splash of rain. We were supposed to visit Günzburg, but somehow we missed the exit and drove to Eisenberg instead, but the castle there is closed (a scientific facility …
