Wonderful view over the lowlands around Hörsching and, in clear weather, to the Alpine peaks

Between Puchenau and Linz, the Danube Cycle Path runs directly along the Danube River, offering a pleasant blend of nature and city life. Along the way, riparian forests, meadows, and sweeping views across the Danube Valley accompany the ride, while the silhouette of Linz becomes visible in the distance. The closer you get to the city, the more vibrant the surroundings become – modern architecture, the Danube Park, and inviting riverside promenades beckon you to take a short break. Finally, the path leads directly into the heart of Linz, where culture, history, and the joy of life converge on the river – a short but particularly beautiful section of the Danube Cycle Path.
