Cycling the Danube, part I

Cycle route from Ulm to Regensburg

Departure date 2025:
Feel invited to sign up to our newsletter and be amongst the first to learn about the 2025 departure date(s).

Our recommendation: Extend your stay in Regensburg for an additional day or even two. The city centre with its historic buildings from over 1,800 years, the numerous beer gardens across the Danube and the lively narrow streets with its little shops and galleries is a holiday destination in itself. A guided city tour in English is available on Saturday (1:30 pm). Getting to Munich Airport on Sunday and Monday is easy now since a direct train leaves Regensburg hourly. We will be happy to assist you getting the ticket.

Mercurio shuttle service:
Included in each of our tours is a shuttle service from the nearest major airports and train stations. This shuttle operates throughout the day, at the beginning and at the end of your cycling holiday.

Getting there by car
If you intend to travel to Ulm by car, we will provide information for you to find the hotel easily. We will also try to welcome you in person at the hotel. Alternatively we will leave latest information with the receptionist.

To park your car during the week, you can choose between three options:
There is a public Park+Ride car park in Ulm. Parking is free of charge unless there is a fair at nearby Ulm Fair. We will be happy to check on request.
Furthermore, there are multi-storey car parks available. The one nearby our hotel costs approx. € 63 (GBP 52) per week (max. parking time: seven days). In case you would like to park your car for more than a week or less money, two multi-storey car parks at Ulm Teaching Hospital are available (approx. € 5 (GBP 4) per day, € 30 (GBP 25) per week, three miles away from Ulm train station). If you prefer to park long-time in a more central car park, we will be happy to enquire the local car park operator.
Last, but not least, you may simply park your car on the street in a residential area in Ulm. Guests have done so previously for a week without any problems.
