From the cycle path along the old Danube river arm, a magnificent view of Greifenstein Castle opens up. As you leisurely cycle along the water, the castle rises picturesquely above the river, forming a striking historical contrast to the surrounding nature. This view makes the cycle tour particularly charming and invites you to take short breaks to enjoy the panorama in peace. Greifenstein Castle is a medieval hilltop castle in Lower Austria, picturesquely perched above the old Danube river arm. Probably built in the 11th century and first documented in 1135, it played an important role in the defense system along the Danube over the centuries and also served as a prison for the ecclesiastical court. In the 19th century, the castle was romantically redesigned under Prince Johann I of Liechtenstein. Today, it is privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside, but from the Danube Cycle Path, it offers impressive views of the historic complex and its harmonious integration into the surrounding landscape.
