For your 6-day location-based tour in the Krems area

Individual arrival in Krems and check into your accommodation. An evening stroll through the town is the perfect way to get in the mood for your upcoming cycling vacation.

The tireless can take a short round trip to Göttweig Abbey (approx. 20 km).

You start the day with a comfortable train ride to the Lower Austrian capital of St. Pölten. Take enough time for a stroll through the baroque old town.

Your cycle tour takes you along the Traisental cycle path - one of the most popular cycle routes in the Mostviertel. You will be enchanted by the changing landscape. Cycle via Herzogenburg to Traismauer and follow the last section along the Danube back to Krems.

After a hearty breakfast, you will take a wonderful boat trip to Melk. There you can visit the largest monastery in the world (admission included) and take a short stroll through the old town.

Your cycle tour back to Krems continues along the Danube through the beautiful Wachau countryside. The enchanting ambience of the orchards and vineyards will amaze you. Via the wine towns of Spitz, Weißenkirchen and Dürnstein, you finally return to Krems. We have also arranged a wine tasting for you on this day.

The third river is already on your program. The train takes you quickly to Rosenburg/Kamp. There you can visit the Renaissance castle (optional) before following the course of the Kamp back to Krems.

A short stop in Langenlois is definitely worthwhile - the wine town welcomes you with a good drop of wine!

Today you will once again explore the Danube. This time, however, in an easterly direction. Always following the course of the river, you cycle via Traismauer to Tulln. In the city of flowers, you can pay a visit to the Egon Schiele Museum (incl.).

Sporty cyclists can continue the tour to Vienna before taking the comfortable train back to Krems. In the evening, you can reflect on the many impressions of this wonderful cycle tour over a glass of wine.

After breakfast, your journey home begins. We are happy to book an extended stay on request.

Level

Beginners and dabblers

You feel right at home on flat terrain. You have nothing against a few little breaks, and sightseeing is a priority for you. These trips are also suitable for cyclists who are not super fit. In short, these tours are for all those who prefer relaxed cycling and easy enjoyment for body, mind and soul.

Topography

All cycle tours are relatively flat.

Road conditions

You often cycle on dedicated cycle paths and small side roads with little traffic. Only at the entrances and exits to the towns can you expect a slightly higher volume of traffic.

Route-finding & navigation

You will navigate by yourself using maps and/or GPS data. The route is also very well signposted.

Fancy a break from cycling?

On a location-based tour, you can simply choose to skip a day's cycling if a stage seems too difficult for you.

Frequently asked
questions

How does a location-based tour work?

There are places in the world of cycle touring that are just so picturesque and diverse that once you have arrived, you can't tear yourself away. They have so much to offer that you will struggle to decide which direction to cycle in first. These special spots are where we at PEDALO have created our location-based tours just for you.

Keep riding, but always stay in the same place

In contrast to staged tours and round trips, you won't cycle from place to place, and thus from hotel to hotel. Instead, you will stay in one and the same accommodation for the duration of your cycling holiday. This hotel will be the starting point for fascinating cycling excursions in the surrounding area. Every day, there will be new routes for you to explore. Every evening, you will return to hosts who put their heart and soul into their work and offer you a pleasantly cosy atmosphere with a healthy dose of class. Instead of having to pack your bags each day, you simply get to ride your bike and enjoy your holiday.

For beginners, improvers - and anyone seeking a breath of fresh air

This type of cycling holiday is designed for anyone who likes to take it easy. If you’re feeling a bit too sore for cycling or the weather isn't looking good, you can simply take a day off. Location-based tours are also ideal for first-time cyclists who may not yet know exactly how much they can or want to tackle in a day. No unnecessary stress, just pure freedom - so your tour can be all about the joy of cycling!

What info material will I receive for my bike tour?

Your travel documents usually include general travel information, a hotel list, a road book and/or detailed maps as well as a textual description of the route; you will also get luggage tags and possibly also vouchers and/or information material on the various sightseeing attractions. The exact contents of the information package depend on the booked trip and its included services.

The documents will be sent to you approx. two to three weeks before the start of your tour. Depending on the trip, you may receive them partly in digital form and partly by post – or you will receive the hotel list and general travel information in advance by e-mail, and the remaining documents along with the maps on site at your starting hotel.

Please note that the travel documents are issued exclusively for PEDALO guests and are therefore not available without a booking.

Should I take out travel insurance?

Travel insurance is not included in our prices. You can decide whether to get a quote elsewhere or simply book your travel insurance online at pedalo.com/en/service/travel-insurance. In any case, we recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance!

Please note that for last-minute bookings (less than 30 days before the start of the trip), insurance cover can only be taken out within 3 days of booking.
