This trip is perfectly suited to those who wish to cycle longer daily stages. You should therefore be quite fit as well as having good intentions! The route of this Danube cycle route is the same as that of the classical option however we have lengthened the daily stages to be covered. Therefore this trip is not only good for your health but also for your finances. Despite the longer daily stages you will still have enough time to experience the beauty of the Danube valley and in the evenings you will be able to enjoy the local culinary delights.

Individual arrival in Donaueschingen
The Brigach and Breg Black Forest rivers join to form the Danube near the town, but even the Romans thought the river’s source was located in the park of the Fürstenberg castle. The castle built in the Belle Epoch style is a testament to the importance of the Fürstenberg family and has an excellent natural history collection and important paintings and sculptures from the modern period. 
Overnight stay in Donaueschingen

Donaueschingen – Beuron (ca. 63 km)
The first stage leads you through the so-called "Baar" landscape. In Immendingen you will be able to visit an important natural phenomenon: the sinking of the Danube. Here the river disappears beneath the porous chalk rock for the majority of the year and instead of flowing to the Black Sea, flows towards Lake Constance and finally into the Rhein and to the North Sea.  After Tuttlingen, the valley begins to narrow and you will reach the town of Beuron with its famous Benedictine monastery. 
Overnight stay in Beuron

Beuron – Riedlingen (ca. 62 km)
After breakfast you will cycle along the Danube between steep cliff faces topped with castles and reach the old town of Sigmaringen. From here on the landscape becomes gentler and charming and with beautiful views over Upper Swabia you will reach today’s destination; Riedlingen. This route was travelled not only by the Romans but also by Emperor Barbarossa.
Overnight stay Riedlingen

Riedlingen - Ulm (ca. 67-73 km)
You will cycle along the Danube until you reach the village of Zwiefalten with its beautiful castle. In Obermarchtal you will see the oldest Baroque church in Upper Swabia and the "Crane town" Ehingen with its Liebherr-manufacturing plants. You now have the choice here to either follow the Danube further or to take the somewhat longer, but beautiful route above the Blautal (blue valley).
Overnight stay in Ulm

Individual return home
After breakfast you travel with the train back to Donaueschingen or back home or we would be more than happy to extend your stay along the Danube cycle route.
