Key facts of the tour
The circular tour from Passau to Vilshofen corresponds to a stage of the Danube cycle path. Small villages with cosy inns and beer gardens line the route. On the Danube, you can see many an island and follow the busy operation of the excursion boats and ferries.

Several attractions await you in Vilshofen: In addition to the old town, the Benedictine Schweiklberg Abbey with its Art Nouveau Trinity Church is well worth a visit. You can also visit the "Beer Underworlds" exhibition in an old vaulted cellar and follow in the footsteps of the town's centuries-old brewing history before relaxing in the Wolferstetter inn or Café Saxinger.

Passau, the city of the three rivers Danube, Inn and Ilz, is often referred to as the "Bavarian Venice". After all, the baroque old town with its magnificent cathedral is picturesquely situated on a promontory and framed by the Danube and Inn rivers.

Tip: If you don't want to cycle back the same way, you can take the train. The journey takes around 20 minutes to half an hour.
