Andrea Achulte-Peevers, Jeremy Gray & Anthony Haywood, Germany. Australia: Lonely Planet, 2000
A general overview of the country with excellent descriptions of some of the main cities to be visited and a short piece on the Danube Cycle Way.

Langdon Faust, Austria, The Complete Guide. United States: Fodor, 1998
Similar in layout to the above with a long comprehensive section on the Danube Valley including all the main city guides and town plans. (This and the above are too heavy to take on the journey.)

Bob Ordish, German for Travellers. Bielefeld: Peter Rump, 1988
An excellent easy-to-carry pocketbook which contains all the essential phrases a cyclist might need along the way and a great deal more.

Art Guide No. 41, Cathedral of Regensburg. Regensburg: Schnell & Steiner, 1999
A well-illustrated and inexpensive pocketbook detailing the history and architecture of one of Germany’s most beautiful cathedrals.

Wolfgang Kootz, Passau – The Three Rivers City. Ubstadt-Weiher: Kraichgau, 2000
A detailed guide to the city. It includes a number of suggested walks, taking in the most important sites (and sights) in and around Passau.

Brigitte Teutsch, Vienna City Guide. Innsbruck: Kompass, 1999
An excellent, if rather heavy, little guide containing maps, illustrations, suggested sightseeing routes and a geographical and historical background to Austria’s capital.

Rózsa Szalontay, Budapest. Budapest: Szalontai Publishing House, 2000
A pleasantly illustrated guide to the city, which is too big to fit in a pocket. Good pocket guides are difficult to find but this is perfectly adequate if you are on foot.

Reinhard Steiner, Schiele. Köln: Taschen, 2000
A beautifully and comprehensively illustrated book on the life and works of the celebrated Austrian artist who lived and worked in Tulln, where there is a small museum of his life.
