Danube Bike Path "Most Popular European Route" for 2011
Chattanooga, TN (PRWEB) July 12, 2011
Austria's Danube Bicycle Path tops the 2011 list of most popular European bicycle routes, according to BikeToursDirect, which represents local European bike tour companies. Out of more than 200 tour routes in 35 European countries, bicycle tours along the Danube Bike Path represent nearly 20 percent of the company's 2011 bookings.
Offering care-free cycling on a dedicated, paved bicycle path, tours along the Danube take cycle tourists through picturesque medieval towns, lush farmlands and sprawling vineyards. BikeToursDirect represents five Austrian and German bicycle tour companies that operate tours along this route and offers 14 different Danube tours among its roster.
"The Danube Bike Path is by far our top seller and has been since BikeToursDirect started eight years ago," says BikeToursDirect founder and president Jim Johnson. "It's especially popular among families and first-time cycle tourists because it's flat, well-marked and on a dedicated asphalt path away from traffic. Daily distances are also low, so there's plenty of time to explore and sightsee."
The typical tour along the Danube Bike Path is one week and begins in Passau, Germany, the "City of Three Rivers," and ends in Vienna, Austria's capital and a top tourist destination.
"Cycle tourists can choose a variety of tour options, including self-guided, guided or bike and boat tours," explains Johnson. "The Danube also offers good 'bail-out' options if a cycle tourist gets tired. In some places cyclists can roll their bikes onto a train or boat to the next town."
Low tour prices are also a factor in the route's popularity. Self-guided tours start at under $800 for one week and include hotels, breakfasts, luggage transfers, detailed maps, route information and a service hotline in case any questions or problems arise. Danube tours take four primary forms: Self Guided: The self-guided tour from Passau to Vienna is the most popular and can be customized based on preferences for interests, daily mileage and trip duration. Rest days can be built in along the way so cycle tourists can explore an area in greater depth and return "home" each night.
Guided: The guided tour from Passau to Vienna is a popular choice for cycle tourists interested in a more structured schedule in a group atmosphere with a guide to point out historic sights. Guided tours also add dinners and a support van.
