Day 6 has more bite again. From Braunau to Linz, this is not a lazy riverside stage, but one that builds its difficulty through a long chain of small stings. No single climb dominates, yet the profile stays busy for most of the day. Roll on, push uphill, let it run, then do it again. That is how the elevation adds up almost without warning. The scenery fits the riding: soft hills, fields, woods, villages with church spires, and wide views across Upper Austria. The most noticeable effort comes in the final quarter, when the route lifts properly once more. Not a pass, but enough to test tired legs honestly. After that, Linz feels almost like a reward: the city, the Danube, the evening light.
