HE BIKE RIDE
This guided bike tour is about 25 kilometers long and starts from Krems. It is a very flat ride on mostly designated bike paths, however there are a few hills consisting of small inclines. If you have children, we can organise childrens' bikes or tag-a-longs, however we suggest you contact us if you are concerned that your child may have problems completing the ride depending on their age and ability. We do have stops throughout the tour so you are not riding for hours straight. The longest we bike without a stop is 25 minutes at a time (depending on the direction of the wind). Join us for a fun and informative ride you’ll be glad you decided to take.
WEATHER
We provide rain gear – which can often be necessary in Austria. (A note on the weather, if you come to town and it’s raining, you have two choices as we see it; either you sit in your hotel room and don’t see anything, or you put a jacket on and come join us on the tour! Nobody has drowned yet! (but some have gone swimming).
TRAVELLING WITH CHILDREN
Child seats and kids tag-a-long bikes also available on request, please inform us when you book
