From our Botel Gracia, we cycled along wide sidewalks to the ramp leading up to the bridge in about 5 minutes. Once on the smooth, wide bike path, we cruised. What a joyful feeling. We were embarking on the easier part of our entire journey.
Welcome to Austria!
We stopped in Hainburg to visit the old town. Go through the massive stone gate to the cathedral to the information office to get a map in English. It is well worth a stop to see the old walls and the castle high above.
On leaving Hainburg, it started to rain hard. It was not supposed to rain until 4pm, but…oh well. We were at the turnoff to Bad, so decided to stop for the night at the hot springs.
