Danube Cycle Path from Passau to Bratislava

MOBILE AROUND THE DANUBE CYCLE PATH
To make your individual travel plans easier, we
have compiled some information on arrival and
departure.
The national rail provides for a comfortable voyage –
even with a bike. Further details and timetable information
can be obtained directly from Deutsche Bahn
www.bahn.de or from ÖBB (Austrian national railways)
at oebb.at as well as from the ÖBB App. The
Rad Tramper Donau offers especially cyclists who
bike along the Danube from Vienna via Linz to/and from
Passau the possibility to travel part of the route relaxingly
by train. Informations on railtours.oebb.at or

Regional buses are also well-suited to reach the
Danube Cycle Path – www.postbus.at
Bicycle transport with the ÖBB (*)
Reservation and tickets: At the ÖBB, you can take
your bike in most local and long-distance trains. A special
ticket is available at the price of 10 % of the full price
(2nd class) of the desired journey, but costs at least
2,– Euro. In addition, you can also purchase weekly
or monthly passes for your bike. With the »Einfach-
Raus« bike-ticket, small groups of two to five people
travel with their bikes for a reasonable price all-day in all
S-Bahn-, Regionalexpress- and Regional-Trains. With
»Biking International« you can travel abroad by bike.
Prices are set at a flat rate of 12,– Euro for each route.
Long-distance transport: In regards to longdistance
transport (Railjet, Intercity, Eurocity, Nightjet),
it is compulsory to make a bike-reservation, due to the
limited number of bike racks.
Local Transport: no bike-reservations are required
on local transport (S-Bahn-, Regionalexpress- and
Regional-Trains).
