Even if you don't wakeboard yourself, it's great fun to watch the wakeboarders from the beautiful terrace at a cafe.

Klenze Park is worth a stop. Across the street, at the Cavalier Dalwigk monument, cannons were once cast. Today, you can enjoy the view of the Danube with a cool drink in the summer lounge. Be sure to check the opening hours.
