Perfect cycle paths on both sides, landscape very beautiful. Only disadvantage, the wind attacks fully. Without an e-bike, one should consider the wind direction and strength when planning.

Maria Taferl, after Mariazell, is the most important pilgrimage site in Lower Austria and a baroque work of art. The church is a "Who-is-Who" of Austrian Baroque architecture. Standing in front of it, you are looking at the work of the absolute elite of this time. Construction began in 1660 under Daniel Gran, but it was completed by none other than Jakob Prandtauer (the creator of Stift Melk) and Joseph Munggenast. The striking twin towers and the bright facade are placed in such a way that they look like a crown over the Danube valley.

A detour to the town center of Pöchlarn is highly recommended for cyclists on the Danube Cycle Path. The center is easily accessible from the riverbank, usually in just a few minutes via short cycle paths or quiet streets. There, you can explore the charming old town, take a break at one of the cafes or restaurants, or visit a small shop. After your visit, the route leads easily back to the Danube Cycle Path, making this detour a perfect addition to a day trip.
