Going the Distance: Adventures on the Danube

Know Thyself

As we become more self-aware as a society, the manner in which we interact with the world changes. We become more ecologically and socially conscious, for instance. We become more respectful of the cultures we encounter and also of our own bodies. With the rise of health and fitness tours it’s clear that the way we vacation is changing, just as the way we eat and exercise is changing.



Vacation with a Purpose

The growth of fitness tours, adventure holidays and wellness vacations demonstrates our desire to make the most of our travel time. The logic is unassailable. When we incorporate activities such as hiking, cycling or yoga into our vacations we help forge experiences that function as more than simply getaways. When we vacation abroad we should take the opportunity to grow and develop ourselves as people. After all, globe-trotting is a privilege. If a health and fitness tour isn’t really your thing, do something you enjoy, like hiking or cycling.

Cycling on the Danube 



If you’re short of ideas, consider taking a cycling expedition tour from Vienna to Budapest. This cross-section of Central and Eastern Europe is much more than simply a fitness tour. It’s an experience of a lifetime. Bookended by two extraordinary cities, your journey will take you through some of the most picturesque landscapes in Europe, resonant with history and culture. Your route will follow the famous Danube River, itself a witness to so much turbulent history.


The Danube winds its way from the Black Forest in Germany all the way to the Black Sea. After the Volga, it is the longest river on the continent. On its mighty 2,872 km journey, it passes through four capital cities. For hundreds and thousands of years, this great river has played a role in the myths and the histories of the peoples who have lived on its banks. It lives in their music, their stories and their imaginations.

A Better Place



The cycle takes six days and each evening you can chill out in one of the many inns and family hotels along the way. This is the perfect choice for anyone seeking replenishment or invigoration. This is a fitness tour where fitness isn’t a chore. It will leave you with a sense of real accomplishment. At the end of your journey you will find more than an historic and breathtaking city. You will find your body and mind in a better place.
