Drau Cycle Path – Cycling with comfort

It takes five springs to give rise to a majestic river like the Drau on the south side of the Alps in South Tyrol. After a short distance, the Drau reaches Austria, where it is fed by the glacial streams of the Hohe Tauern. And so the sources grow over a mountain stream and finally into a stately river, which finds its way calmly and in its impressive way almost sublime.
Accompanying this river on its way by bike is therefore a special experience. And when, over time, the speed of cycling almost imperceptibly adjusts to the flow speed of the water, you feel one with nature again. It is these experiences and insights that help us to feel ourselves again and through which we feel connected to what surrounds us and nourishes us in many ways. What better way to describe this cycle path than with the words “follow the magic of the water”!
River cycling – a special experienceis
The slight incline without any counter climbs worth mentioning, the warmth of the sun south of the Alps, natural landscape as far as the eye can see and the increasingly Mediterranean character of the landscape and people – all this and much more makes the days on the Drau Cycle Path so unforgettable. Narrow floodplains, meadows and pastures accompany the river and you on your journey. The Drau offers rare birds a particularly protected habitat, which you can roam through by bike as a guest and observe the diversity on the riverbank. For bird lovers you can find more information here.

So it is not surprising that many cyclists are looking for this experience and then find it on the Drau Cycle Path. It is therefore not surprising that many organizers offer package deals along the Drau Cycle Path. This raises the question of whether there is a need for an additional provider for cycle tours? Or to put it another way: “Do bookyourtrail.com still need us when the offer is already so extensive?” Well, the question can perhaps be answered like this: actually only if we offer something that doesn’t exist in this form yet and offers our guests real added value.
Cycling with comfort
For us, this added value is based on two pillars – cycling with comfort and individual travel. We ensure cycling with comfort through many offer ideas, which we would like to present to you briefly. For example, we only include selected partner companies in our offer, so you can be sure that the accommodation at each stage meets our high quality requirements. So it is not surprising that we have four-star hotels and even a five-star hotel in our offer.

For us, cycling with comfort also means offering a consistent luggage service so that you can save yourself the annoying, mostly oversized side bags on your bike. This is how we ensure your physical and emotional balance during the journey. Your luggage will be waiting for you at your accommodation at the end of the day!
But cycling with comfort also means not having to wait long for group transport at the end of the journey. You should also consider that the more people are combined in such a collective transport, the longer and more complicated the return journey will be.
Individual travel
It is precisely at this point that the advantages of cycling and comfort meet with individual cycle tours. You don’t have to wait for our VIP shuttle service and you will be chauffeured directly to your car at the starting point or to your desired departure station. Bike transport included, of course.

For us, individual travel also includes personal service during the trip. Our trail hotline in the trail information and booking center is there to help you with minor and possibly major problems. You can reach us via the hotline during your bike tour seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Another piece of the Trail Angels award-winning service! We take care of the organization before and your wishes during the trip, so that you can fully concentrate on what is really important: An unforgettable holiday experience by bike along one of the most beautiful rivers in the Alpe Adria region. So, plan and book your bike tour with ease here.
