How about the Danube? Not done it myself, but it's pretty long so can pick a nice stretch?

I did this last year with a 1st-time tourer, lovely mix of stuff. Took the ferry from Harwich and dispersed some trains so the strain wasn't too much.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a 10-14 day tour in Europe in June? Will be with my partner on her hybrid so will need to be mostly roads/paths with a bit of light off-road if possible. Thinking about either flying out somewhere to return back to the UK via NL on the ferry, or through France on the Eurostar, or alternatively a linear trip between two airports if that's not possible. Quite overwhelmed by the choice of going ~anywhere~ though...
We quite like lakes, rivers, mountains, vegetarian/vegan food, and my partner would say she'd like to avoid very hot weather (but she'd also like to avoid mountains but this is more a result of her lack of confidence than anything else!)
Have considered a Stockholm to Gothenburg/Oslo route, or Verona/Venice to Munich via Innsbruck, or just a rambling trip through the Netherlands and Belgium as we have friends scattered across there and it would be flat and easy (and not involve flying), or also a flight in and out of Ljubljana that takes in a big loop of the country out to the west and back around (something like this adjusted to avoid some of the more technical/off-road bits: https://bikepacking.com/routes/bikepacking-slovenia/)
Anything else that anyone would suggest or can you point me in the direction of resources to browse? She's getting excited looking at routes on bikepacking.com routes but limited by choice of bike which rules out so many of them.
Thanks in advance
