The Danube Cycle Way. Volume 1 From the Source in the Black

A guidebook to cycling the first 1261km of the Danube Cycleway from the Black Forest in Germany, through Austria and dipping into Slovakia, to Budapest, Hungary. The route, which is mainly level cycling, is well within the capabilities of most cycle tourists. It can be comfortably completed in two to three weeks. The route is described in 29 stages (ranging from 24-66km, averaging less than 44km/stage), and passes through Germany, Austria and Hungary. It utilises EuroVelo route 6 (EV6) and (mostly) follows well-surfaced cycle tracks, often along the riverbank or flood dykes. 1:150,000 mapping included for each stageGPX files available to downloadRefreshment and accommodation information given for each stageAdvice on planning and preparationVolume 1 of a two-volume series of the full Danube Cycleway route
