Along this long cycling tour you will follow the Danube through the whole of Bavaria. Important cities such as Ulm with its famous cathedral, Ingolstadt encased by the old fortress walls, Gothic Regensburg and the almost Mediterranean town of Passau are all included along the route. There is also lots of nature to enjoy, for example when the Danube cuts through the Alb mountains near Kelheim or flows quickly through the Bavarian Forest. You will also have enough time to visit the attractions in the area and many entrance fees are included in the price of the holiday.

Individual Arrival in Ulm  
Your trip begins in the Swabian-Bavarian double town of Ulm. Take the time to stroll around the rebuilt inner city, climb the steps of the highest church tower in the world and visit the picturesque fishing and tanning quarter with its crooked wooden-framed houses. The city library which is built in the form of a glass pyramid is an interesting example of modern architecture in the city.
