I have reached Austria today! This means I have crossed an entire country – Germany – by bike. Somehow I have missed a sign at the Germany/Austria border crossing and when I realized that it was too far away to go back.
Before crossing the border I passed the city of Passau. It looks like it is the destination for the river cruise ships. There were so many of them there! As a result the river front was flooded with tourists.
The route from Passau to Vienna is very popular. The scenery is beautiful and the ride is easy. The infrastructure is great too – there are even ferries just for bicycles. Because of that there are many more cyclists on this part of the EuroVelo 6 than anywhere else on the route.
I was planning to reach the city of Linz today but there was a very nice campground on the way so I decided to stay there instead.
