Paths covering:
We go to the museum. We read books. But nothing is as exciting as putting your own feet on ground steeped in history or - as in the case of the Roman Cycle Route - "experiencing" history.
Saddle up your bike and set off into the past and through different regions in Bavaria and Upper Austria. The Roman Cycle Path not only connects the two neighboring countries, it is also a journey into past times on the traces of the Innviertel borders.
Around the Roman Cycle Path you will find smaller and larger communities where culture and culinary delights can be excellently combined. This is also illustrated by the Innviertel's resonant nickname as the granary of Upper Austria. The Roman Museum in Altheim documents this very clearly with exhibits found exclusively in the region. The focus is on agriculture and animal husbandry. For example, the Romans brought new techniques, new plant varieties and animal breeds with them. After their field work was done, the Romans relaxed in their baths. A partial construction of a Roman bath can be visited in Weirading about 3 km east of the Roman Museum Altheim.
The Heavenly Seven - the following stages lead you in the footsteps of the Romans
🚲 From Bad Füssing to Ering
🚲 From Bavaria to the Innviertel to Waldzell
🚲 From Waldzell via Frankenmarkt to Lake Attersee
🚲 From Lake Attersee to Attnang-Puchheim
🚲 From Attnang-Puchheim to Wels
🚲 From Wels to Enns - via Linz and the Danube Cycle Path back to Passau
Passau Land Region:
Bavarias Passau Land is a region rich in history and enjoyment. Along the Danube runs the Danube Limes, which has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the south of the Passau district, the Rott and Inn valleys, there are numerous archaeological sites, and an inner-Roman border between the provinces of Raetia and Noricum ran along the Inn River. Along the Roman cycle path in the district of Passau there are numerous buildings and facilities that tell interesting stories. The impressive landscape of the Lower Inn Valley and the Bavarian hospitality characterize the region.
Upper Austrian Danube Region:
- UNESCO World Heritage Danube Limes - Romans on the Danube
- Schärding, the baroque insider tip
- Boiotro Roman Museum Passau
- Oberranna Roman fort, Schlögen Roman park
- Culinary tip: Engelszell Abbey with Austria's only Trappist brewery
- Enns, the medieval gem (Lauriacum Museum and Via Lauriacum walk)
- Roman resting places: Along the Danube Cycle Path on the former northern border of the Roman Empire (Danube Limes), 20 Roman rest areas invite you to travel back in time to the history of an era long gone, but still present on the Upper Austrian Danube. The rest stops with information about the Roman heritage in Upper Austria, the Danube Cycle Path and the respective site municipality serve as welcome and varied rest stops for the bicycle tourists on both banks of the Danube. Here, even the break becomes a small attraction.
Wels region:
Wels pulsates: With its historical background and the well-preserved structure of the city center around the magnificent town square, it invites you to stroll, browse and marvel - during the day and at night also with guided tours. The Roman Trail offers a unique opportunity to experience Roman history in the city. In the meantime, the stations of the trail have become a network within the city that is constantly being expanded. History should be able to be perceived in the form of unobtrusive presentation while shopping, walking or having an extended drink in the sunny town square. Each culinary and cultural meeting point should help to create an awareness of Roman Wels and the past.
Numerous connection possibilities:
Danube, Inn, Tauern and Salzkammergut cycle paths, regional cycle paths, circular route via Danube cycle path possible.
Route:
Asphalted and well paved on bike paths, side roads and freight roads, hardly any inclines, suitable for all bikes
Signage:
Green-white signs with Roman helmet (in both directions in Austria R6), from Wels R4 to Traun, then R14 to Enns, signs "In the footsteps of the Romans" between Traun and Enns
Tips:
Well suited for families. Many rest areas and hardly any inclines. Return to Passau by bike via the Danube Cycle Path or by train or boat.
The starting point is the three-river town of Passau. This is where the "Cycle Routes of the Roman Period" Via Danubia and Roman Cycle Route meet.

Vis-à-vis users
1. The tours presented for hiking, walking, biking and road biking, mountain biking, motorbiking, horseback riding, climbing, cross-country skiing, and going on skiing and snowshoe tours etc. are to be considered non-paid tour recommendations and only serve as non-binding information. We have no intention of concluding a contract with the users of this website. The utilisation of the data does not lead to the establishment of a contract with us.
The data may only be used for private use; any commercial use is prohibited. In particular, it is not permissible to offer the data on commercially run websites, file-sharing platforms etc. or to use it to develop commercial products. Downloading data does not imply that users are granted rights to the data concerned.
The tour recommendations posted were created with utmost care; nevertheless, we assume no liability for the correctness and completeness of the information.
We point out that neither the tour recommendations included on this website nor the associated data and information were posted by us, but rather by third parties (Art. 16 Austrian E-Commerce Act). We have no influence on whether the details provided (e.g. distance, level of difficulty, change in altitude, description etc.) are authentic, correct and complete. We do not review these third-party contents. For this reason, we assume no liability for the authenticity, correctness and completeness of the information.
Construction-related measures or other influences (e.g. landslides and similar occurrences) can lead to temporary or permanent changes in a route (e.g. loss of a bridge and similar occurrences). Such occurrences can lead to part of the route or the entire route becoming impassable.
The use of the data as well as undertaking (riding, walking, taking etc.) the recommended tours or using the network of paths occurs at users’ own risk and on their authority. In particular, users themselves are responsible for the choice of route, outdoor orientation, adherence to traffic rules, supplies and equipment for tours listed in Point 1 (e.g. bicycle etc.), wearing a helmet, estimating their own fitness, recognising dangers and maintaining an appropriate velocity. We exclude ourselves from any liability whatsoever for damages, in particular accidents, that occur whilst taking part in the recommended tours.
2.Some of the tours lead over roads with normal traffic conditions. Please observe that there is an increased risk which can be avoided by means of appropriate attention and proper estimation and implementation of one’s own abilities. For this reason, please travel a route that is unfamiliar to you slowly and with special care. Pay constant attention to potential dangers and always observe traffic. Do not leave the routes featured in descriptions.
The potential use of private roads, in particular forestry roads and agricultural transport roads, can be subject to legal restrictions, which must be observed and adhered to.
The normal traffic rules apply. Each user (e.g. biker, motorbiker) is responsible for adhering to these rules and maintaining his/her bike/vehicle and its equipment (lights, brakes etc.) in good working order. Each user is also responsible for ensuring that he/she rides at a velocity that is appropriate for the conditions and his/her skill level and for maintaining sufficient distance to the rider in front. We explicitly recommend adjusting velocity to correspond to the respective field of vision, wearing a helmet, using reflective clothing (or similar) and employing bicycle lights in line with regulations.
3.Each tour requires good physical fitness as well as detailed planning. We explicitly recommend only taking the tours in the case of optimal healthiness.
We recommend that you conclude an accident and liability insurance policy. Use an onboard computer that displays the respective kilometres travelled per day and is calibrated for the front wheel.
4.Special for mountain bikers – Fair-play rules:
Mountain biking is one of the most wonderful outdoor leisure-time activities. Whilst biking or on a mountain biking tour, mountains and lakes, meadows and cabins are re-discovered in new ways. A couple of rules for fair play in the forest help to avoid conflicts whilst mountain biking.
a.Pedestrians have the right of way: We are accommodating and friendly to pedestrians and hikers. Upon encountering these fellow travellers, we alert them by using the bicycle bell and slowly overtake them. We avoid paths with heavy pedestrian traffic altogether. Take nature into account: We do not leave refuse behind.
b.The braking distance should be half of the total distance visible: We ride at a controlled pace, are ready to brake and maintain a braking distance half as long as the total distance visible, especially in curves, because we always have to count on obstacles on the path. Damage to the path, stones, branches, wood piles, grazing livestock, cattle grids, barriers, tractor-type forestry machines and authorised vehicles pose dangers that we need to be ready for.
c.Don’t drink and drive!: Do not drink alcohol when mountain biking. Take care at stop-off points (dealing with bike racks, dirty shoes or clothing).
It is obligatory to provide first aid!
d.Marked routes, closed paths and blockades: Keep to the marked routes, observe the blockades and accept that these roads are primarily for agricultural and forestry use!
Blockades can often not be avoided and are in your own interest. Biking beyond the intended path and outside of opening times is punishable and turns us into illegal bikers.
e.We are guests in the forest and behave accordingly, including vis-à-vis forestry and hunting staff. Whilst mountain biking, mobile telephones and music players are forbidden! Biking requires your full attention.
f.Avoid unnecessary noise. Out of consideration to the animals living in the wild, we only bike during full daylight. As a principle, we always wear our helmet (even when riding uphill)! Don’t forget emergency supplies: We always have a repair set and bandages along.
g.Don’t overestimate your skills: We should not overdo it when it comes to biking technique and physical fitness. Take the level of difficulty posed by the route into consideration and make a precise estimate of your experience and skills as a biker (braking, bell, lights)!
h.Close gates: We approach grazing livestock at a walking pace and close every gate behind us. We should avoid causing escape and panic reactions in the animals. Nothing stands in the way of the fun and athletic challenge in the mountains and forests!
i.Traffic rules: The general traffic rules (StVO) apply for all the mountain biking routes and we adhere to them. Our bike therefore needs to be in perfect technical condition and equipped in line with the traffic rules, including brakes, a bell and lights. We inspect and service our mountain bikes regularly anyway.
