• A picturesque tour through wooded hills and beaches of poplars along the scenic shores of the Inn River in Passau

Additionally, in 2016, 12 port cities will be home to AmaWaterways’ new hiking tours. This includes two wine tasting options during the Fortress Hike in Durnstein. Other options include:

• Fourviere Hill in Lyon
