I left Linz at a leisurely time, around 8:30am with the intent to ride to Grein. It was quite industrial on the way out of Linz but the signage and infrastructure was fantastic.
The weather wasn’t looking so great and I’m not keen to camp in wet weather so I was keeping an eye on my options for accommodation. I made it to the campground in Grein by lunch time, noting that most of the campgrounds are closed until 2-3pm. I met Tom from Florida who is also heading to Budapest, outside the campground and we chatted about route options and the advice he’d been given to back track slightly and cross the Danube to ride the South bank.
Tom and I decided to ride together for a while and headed to Ybbs, where there is a bicycle museum. We had a great time exploring the museum (thanks for the tip Brian!). We decided to stay in the town for the night and had been looking at options earlier due to the impending wet weather. We found great apartment accommodation at Travel and Bike Apartments right in the centre of Ybbs. These apartments are great, newly refurbished with secure bike storage. They have full kitchens and can easily sleep four. They are also very well priced for anyone looking for somewhere to stay in this area! Just a short distance from the Danube cycleway.
