Day 1, Sunday: the picturesque old town of Ulm
Depending on your arrangements, our team welcomes you at the airport; or any other place in Munich. With our minivan we will then take you to your hotel in Ulm. We recommend Ulm’s fascinating old town for a stroll in the afternoon. Have a look at the enchanting quarters of the fishermen and tanners, the leaning tower with its colourful roof, and the minster, the world’s tallest church steeple. Climb the 768 steps for an unbeatable view – if you dare brave the breeze on the upper platforms.
In the evening we will gather again for dinner, where you will meet the rest of your group.

Day 2, Monday: the tale of the Sparrow of Ulm, start cycling
We start off the day with a guided walk which takes in the city’s attractions. You will learn about the special oath of 1397, which the mayor still has to pledge every year in front of the residents. We also visit the town hall with its decorative and very impressive frescoes from the 16th century. Inside, you can find the hang-glider that was used by the Tailor of Ulm to glide across the Danube in 1811 – albeit unsuccessfully.
After having an hour to yourself, your bicycle will be waiting for you. From the hotel, it is only a 200-yard walk down to the river, where the ride begins. As this is your first day on your bike, we only cycle for about 19 miles. The path leads us along the Danube and through protected riparian forest to Gunzburg. Feel free to discover this small town before dinner. Have an ice cream at one of the cafes on the market square or visit the rococo-style Liebfrauenkirche church nearby. (19 miles/30 km)

Day 3, Tuesday: crossing the Romantic Road at Donauworth
Today’s route leads us through quiet villages and flat Bavarian countryside. Ponds and woodland alternate with cultivated landscape and beautifully decked hamlets. We pass the village of Blindheim, famous for the battle that took place close by. Here in 1704 the Duke of Marlborough’s forces campaigned successfully against French and Bavarian troops.
At around midday we reach our picnic location. The table will be laid with all sorts of local produce, from German bread to sausages and cheese. Of course, you will find fruit, vegetables and sweets as well. Replenished, we cycle the remaining distance to Donauworth. Here, at the crossroads of the Danube and the Romantic Road, we stay overnight. We recommend having a walk down the town’s main street. Emperors and other noble people travelled along here in days gone by. (41 miles/66 km)

Day 4, Wednesday: Bavaria and its beer law
Again, the cycle paths follow a route through unspoilt countryside and on dedicated cycle ways. The challenge today will be two small hills that need to be cycled over. The view spanning the Bavarian countryside will be your reward.
Later, we pass Neuburg. The town’s peaceful streets and squares invite us for a stop. But only a short one, since we want to cycle further, to Ingolstadt. Here, in 1516, the Bavarian Purity Law (‘Reinheitsgebot’) was passed. Still valid today, it allows only water, barley and hops to be used in the brewing of beer. So give it a try. “Prost!” (36 miles/58 km)

Day 5, Thursday: take a bath at Limes hot springs
After two long days of cycling, you will have earned a reward. And you will get two. In the morning you will be taken on a guided walk through Ingolstadt, where you will see the truly unique ceiling fresco of the St. Maria de Victoria church, showing the world as it was known in the 1730s. You will learn the local way of testing a beer for quality and trace Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein during his academic years - just to mention a few of the morning's highlights.
In the afternoon, after cycling for about 25 miles, you will relax at Limes hot springs. The spa provides 15 thermal pools with temperatures ranging from 28 to 36° C. Pure relaxation! (25 miles/40 km)

Day 6, Friday: impressive Danube Gorge at Weltenburg Monastery
This day starts with another pleasant ride on your bicycle. After about ten miles on former tow paths, we reach the Monastery of Weltenburg; just before the big gorge. Over the past million years, the Danube has carved its way through a massif that blocked the river for a very long time.
A ferry takes us to the other end of the gorge, where another fine spread awaits us. From here we follow the Danube down to Regensburg. The city is famous for its well preserved medieval buildings; the cathedral, the Golden Tower and the Stone Bridge, to mention but a few. (33 miles/53 km)

Day 7, Saturday: the medieval old town of Regensburg
What a shame - this is already the last day of your cycle tour. Following a hearty breakfast, you may set out on a stroll of the city centre or board our shuttle service right away. This will take you to the airport or any other place in Munich. Then it's time to say “Auf Wiedersehen!” and hope to see you again on one of our other tours.
