I think I have figured it out: I shall do part of the Danube trail system from Vienna to Salzburg (did I even come close with the spelling?) - I bought a book....

If you haven't traveled with a bike in a while, you might want to check out the luggage restrictions and extra charges for bikes on planes. In the US, it's upwards of $150 each way to take a bike in a box. Folding bike is different, of course.
Sounds like a wonderful place to ride.

Ginny - that is a great trip, I've done it twice (long ago, so I don't have my maps etc.)... We stayed 2 night in Salzburg...wonderful. Plan a stay in Melk for the abbey and then another town, down the trail from Melk is famous for its mideval (sp?) archetecture. I'm sure you'll see it in the guidebooks. Make sure to go to the Melk abbey.
Also be sure to stay on the trail...there are some narrow roads, and it is easy to end up on the road if you aren't paying attention. I wasn't and got hit from behind by an 82 year old Swiss guy. I highly recommend the Austrian hospital system.
But it is still the best trip ever, and I did it again without the getting run over part!
