EuroTour day 21 – to Melk

Very pretty ride today. Also a very easy one because it was downhill and with tailwind.

During the ride I’ve met a Russian-speaking couple on cruising bikes. They were riding from Passau to Vienna on an organized tour where they stay on a cruise ship each night and ride about 40 kilometers per day. Later that day I’ve seen more cyclists like them, many are old and on electric-assist bikes.

I’ve found a campground half way to Vienna and it is located next to the Schloss Schönbühel castle. In addition to being right on the river and with a great view the campsite also has free and high quality wi-fi and free showers. Here are the views near the campground:
