Eurovelo 9 - Poland to Austria

[Lone Rider]

Has anybody cycled this route? I am thinking about getting a Ryanair flight to Poznan, and then cycling to Vienna. The Eurovelo 9 route joins both cities, but I can't find any information about it. Following a signposted route takes all the hassle out of navigation and lets you enjoy the scenery. After Vienna ... don't know if I'll turn left or right.

Tempting....just one problem, the phrase "...getting a Ryanair flight..."
[settles down to look at various EV routes.....gets glint in eye]

I have used Ryanair several times in the past. Last year I got a genuine bargain - 2€ return to Memmingen in Southern Germany. There were no taxes, no extras, just 2 euros! OK, so I had to pay 60€ to take my bike with me, and it got scratched on the return flight - my fault as it wasn't boxed. Another trip I made I didn't take my bike, and I bought a second-hand one when I arrived. Taking your own bike is better than renting or buying second-hand.

I did the Poland to Austria tour. I flew into Krakow and then headed through Czech R, Slavakia and into Vienna. The snag was that I did it in late September and it rained most of the time..apart from when I got into Austria and then things brightened...It was a dead easy journey and camped out most of the way..and of course on the danube

Not sure if anyone is still watching this thread. but...
Can anyone tell me where to find route information for the Euro Velo 9? I can't seem to find any route maps or resources other than the ECF site telling me that the route exists. COmmenter above said the route was dead easy- Does that mean it's marked/signed most or all of the way?
Please advise where to find maps or resources.

Thanks.

The best cycle maps of Germany and the surrounding areas are those by Bikeline books by Estabauer
Even if they don't cover the entire route they are worth getting for the bits they do

I'm near Vienna, depending if you're turning left or right, let me know, maybe I'll draft ya' :-)

My husband rusty and I would like to take this exact route at the end of this month (July 29) - could you give me some info on places you stayed - we also really enjoy camping -and what route was taken (E9?) - and where we may access a detailed map for the route - it has been difficult as we are now in Krakow for work and am having limited map possibilities- thanks for any info you can provide.
