Rain came early today so it was easy to find an excuse to stop in Bad Deutsch Altenburg, a resort town with thermal spas.
The route out of Bratislava was the easiest and most pleasant we have had on our entire journey. The bridge across the Danube from Bratislava to the EV 6 bicycle path had an upper deck for auto traffic, and a lower smaller deck for pedestrian and cycle traffic.

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.

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.
