View of Aschach on the Danube from the Danube Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Of course Aschach is worth a stop. Only this highlight is on the Danube bridge of Aschach and not in Aschach. So I would find it fitting to adapt the name.

Ottensheim-Wilhering Hydroelectric Power Plant

Highlight • Structure

This imposing power plant generates 1,135 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year! Alone by the power of the water. Impressive! You can cross the Danube over the power station bridge and watch the whole spectacle up close.

Abwinden-Asten Power Plant and Lock

Highlight • Monument

You can watch ships passing the lock. Its nice to bike the Southside of the Danube until Mauthausen and there to take the small ferry to again cross to the Northside. BUT watch out the times, when the ferry is running! Only in summer.

View of Linz and the Schlossmuseum from the Danube Cycle Path

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful stretch of road along the banks of the Danube, the approach to Linz is very impressive overall. On one side there is a natural Danube pebble beach and then the fantastic view over the Danube to Linz. A real highlight on this stage.

An early start on the Danube is nice when the morning fog is still over the water. If it weren't for getting up earlier. But if you want weather, you have to leave early. And the small breakfast room in the inn was packed at 7 a.m. – probably everyone thought so after checking the weather app yesterday. However, on …
