Donausteig

A hike full of variation!

Hiking on the Donausteig means hiking through varied nature and cultivated landscapes, accompanied at all times by the glittering ribbon of the (sadly not always) blue Danube.

Since 2010 these landscapes have been connected by the Donausteig, a hike whose signposting and experiential value is oriented on the sophisticated expectations of the new generation of hikers.

Well-marked paths and a uniformly signposted network of trails help to orient you on the Donausteig and ensure that you reach your desired daily destination safely.

From Passau via Linz to Grein, left and right of the Danube, multi-stage hike with alternating hotels and luggage transfer, entire hike length ca. 220 km.
