TOURS
IN AUSTRIA
Austria
is an enchanting country of mountains, rivers and picturesque old
cities. The majority of our tours focus on the famous River Danube as it flows between
the hills from the German border past the capital Vienna to Slovakia.
The easy cycling on special bike paths alongside the busy river
is definitely the best way to see and absorb the scenic delights
of this attractive region. Our other tour is a delightful, leisurely route through Austria's lake district, the 'Salzkammergut', where the mountains give way to a string of crystal-clear lakes.
