 Cycle the Danube with kids - 8 day family cycle - Departures: Daily from 16 April 2012 to 30 October 2012 from AU $1,250.00 (Adult)   AU $850.00 (Child)

The flat stretch of the Danube which is free of traffic and packed full of attractions, is an ideal introduction to cycle touring for all of the family. There is plenty of variety including a donkey adventure, boat rides on the Danube, historic sites such as the Melk Monastery and beautiful landscapes that will inspire children and adults alike. The path is completely paved and follows the river for most of the itinerary. Enjoy cosy farmhouse accommodation and be treated to homemade local specialities. The picturesque riverside region of the Wachau Valley with its orchards, vineyards, historic villages with their church spires and hilltop castles, leads you to the town of Spitz. From there you can visit Melk by boat, have some fun at the donkey farm and explore the surrounds. On arrival in Vienna there is a world of music and food for all to embrace.
