The cycle path along the Abens near Sittling (a district of Neustadt an der Donau) is a real treat for pleasure cyclists who like it flat and close to nature. You ride through an idyllic meadow landscape. As the area around Sittling and the nearby Bad Gögging is an important refuge for birds, you can often observe storks and herons.

I recommend stopping off for an ice cream or coffee at the Dolce Vita ice cream parlor in Neustadt an der Donau.

Many kilometers are driven on the dam. At least you can see the Danube from time to time.
