Danube

Adventure Holidays to the Danube, Hungary

The River Danube is the second longest river in Europe. It originates in the Black Forest in Germany as two smaller rivers which join in the German town of Donaueschingen; it is from this point that it is known as the Danube. The river flows eastwards for a distance of some 2850 km (1771 miles), passing through several Central and Eastern European capitals, before emptying into the Black Sea. We offer classic self-guided cycling holidays along the Danube, linking the historic cities of Vienna and Budapest. The River Danube serves as the spine of the cycling route as you meander back and forth through woodland, farmland, avenues of walnut trees, wide flat landscapes and shady hills. A night is spent in the pretty city of Bratislava and in the lovely town of Gyor, as we head towards the Danube Bend at Esztergom. The end point for the trip is the city of Budapest with time to soak up the wonderful atmosphere and enjoy the stunning architecture.
