The Ofenwasser is a slow-flowing river system in the Alkovner Au. It is fed primarily by the "Weidinger Bach" and flows into the Innbach near Fall, not far from here.

Long before this route was converted into a cycle path, it was already a 'fish trail' for walkers. It runs along the Innbach stream to its confluence with the Danube and then along the Danube to the Danube ferry in Wilhering.

An interesting change of pace during your tour, with beautiful views included free of charge – a truly enjoyable experience. For those who usually only cycle over bridges, ferries are a very interesting alternative. The crossing offers a welcome change of scenery during your tour, and you can enjoy fantastic views. You can pass the time taking great photos while you wait. The Ottensheim-Wilhering cable ferry is a unique attraction on the Danube. It connects the towns of Ottensheim and Wilhering and is particularly interesting for cyclists, as it is a popular crossing on the Danube Cycle Path. The ferry is a reaction ferry and moves solely with the current of the Danube. A historical and technical gem, the cable ferry combines tradition and innovation. It is not only a practical means of transport but also a popular attraction for tourists and locals alike. The ferry connects not only the banks geographically but also the communities of Ottensheim and Wilhering culturally.
