Danube bike tour from Budapest to Kladovo
Starting from the vibrant city of Budapest towards the south, you will pass through charming villages, where you can dive into the rich tradition of Hungarian food. Enjoy a break in a spa or visit one of the small, fun museums along the road. For example, the Paprika museum in Kalocsa. Before going to Serbia, you will enter Croatia, where you can taste some of the great local wines and get a glimpse of the recent history. For example, the 1990s Balkan War in the museum of Vukovar. After the stopover in Croatia, you will end the first leg of the route in the Serbian city Novi Sad. The second part of the journey starts in Belgrade and leads along the mighty Danube to the Romanian border, where the Danube is at its widest, narrowest and deepest. Impressive gorges and different sceneries after each bend of the river make this part one of the most beautiful rides along the whole route.
