The Danube Cycleway Volume 2: From Budapest To The Black Sea (Cicerone Cycling)

If you’ve ever dreamed of cycling the Danube all the way to the Black Sea, this guidebook is the perfect way to make it happen. Covering 1647km from Budapest to the coast, it takes you along the famous Danube Cycleway through Hungary, Croatia, Serbia and Romania — all broken down into 32 easy‑to‑ride stages averaging just over 50km each. In other words, totally doable for most cycle tourists.

The route is mostly flat, with long, relaxed stretches on flood dykes and quiet backroads, making it an ideal 3–4 week adventure. You’ll get tips on the best seasons to ride (May–June or September–October), plus a heads‑up that July and August can get seriously hot. And the payoff at the end? Rolling into the Danube Delta — Europe’s biggest wetland and a paradise for birdlife.

This is the companion to The Danube Cycleway Volume 1, which takes you from the Black Forest to Budapest. Together, they’re the ultimate resource for anyone wanting to ride the full length of one of Europe’s greatest rivers.
