Cycle the lower Danube and follow one of Europe's great rivers from
the grand boulevards and baroque architecture of Budapest to the vast
wetlands of the Danube Delta on the Black Sea, passing through
Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, and Romania on a journey of 1,647km (1,023
miles). The more adventurous second half of the Danube Cycleway, this
is a route of extraordinary variety, from the dramatic Iron Gates
gorges on the Serbian-Romanian border to the remote and wild
landscapes of rural Romania. Suitable for most abilities and bike
types, this definitive Cicerone guidebook describes the full route in
32 stages averaging 53.5km (33 miles) each, comfortably completable in
three to four weeks. A three-day variant via Constan?a and the Black
Sea coast is also described for stages 27–32, along with information
on the boat journey through the Danube Delta from Tulcea to Sulina.
Cycle the lower Danube Cycleway in 32 stages from Budapest to Tulcea,
passing through Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, and Romania on a mainly

paths. Discover the highlights of the route, including Budapest's
Fishermen's Bastion and Europe's largest synagogue, the Kopacki Rit
nature reserve in Croatia, the Petrovaradin fortress at Novi Sad,
Golubac castle, the dramatic Iron Gates gorges, and the extraordinary
Danube Delta at journey's end. Choose a variant for the final stages,
with a three-day alternative via Constan?a and the Black Sea coast

with comprehensive refreshment and accommodation information for every
stage, practical advice on preparation, getting there and back, and a
