The sculpture „The young fisherman“ (often also referred to as „Boy with fish“ or „Fisherboy“) is a striking work of art directly on the Danube cycle path in the Frengkofen district (municipality of Bach an der Donau). The sculpture is a homage to the centuries-old tradition of Danube fishing in this region. Frengkofen is historically closely linked to fishing – a heritage that is today primarily carried on by the local Maier fishing family (Fisch Maier), whose business is located in the immediate vicinity.

Schwabelweis Danube Bridge, also known as the Odessa Ring in Regensburg.

It can be used not only by cars and trucks, but also on foot and by bicycle on the east side of the bridge.

Whenever I cycle or walk over the bridge, I always stop for a while to enjoy the magical views of the mighty Danube.
