Inn Bike Path from Maloja to Passau - Bikeroute-Nr. 3

Upper Austria - baroque, colorful natural spectacles between the Danube, Inn and Salzach rivers

The Inn Cycle Path is an impressive 517 kilometers long. In the Innviertel region - between Braunau and Schärding - it rewards cyclists with particularly beautiful views of the river landscape.

The cycle path leads from the source of the Inn at the Maloja Pass in the Swiss Engadine via Bavaria and Tyrol to Upper Austria and on to the confluence of the river with the Danube near Passau. In the Innviertel region, the route is flat throughout, making it ideal for families. Relaxation is guaranteed in any case, as the "R3" runs through one of the most beautiful floodplain landscapes in Austria.

Experience nature in the floodplain
Frauenstein Castle near Mining is a great place to take a break on this side of the border. A dip in the bathing lake in Mühlheim am Inn is also refreshing before continuing on. A diverse flora and fauna awaits cyclists in the "Lower Inn European Reserve". Around 300 bird species alone have been counted here in recent years. Many of these feathered friends make a stopover here on their flight south. The viewing platform in Kirchdorf/Inn serves as an observation post directly on the cycle path.

Baroque splendor
Recharged, the route continues to two Baroque gems on the Inn: the towns of Obernberg and Reichersberg. In Obernberg, you should not miss the birds of prey show at the castle: From April to the end of October, the falconry team lets its majestic birds fly their circles. Obernberg's market square with its rococo façades is also well worth a visit.

Just a few kilometers away is the imposing Reichersberg Abbey. There are many ways to recharge your batteries here - whether strolling through the monastery garden, taking a break in the Stiftsstüberl and Stiftsvinothek or in the silence of the abbey church. The wellness world of the Spa Resort Geinberg is also not far away. Tired cyclists will be revitalized here at the latest.

The route continues to Schärding, the charming baroque town with its incomparable Silberzeile, and via Wernstein to the three-river city of Passau.
