Popular around Sarchinger Weiher
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.

A very beautiful railway line cycle path with a moderate gradient and almost entirely surrounded by beautiful nature. There are rest stops at regular intervals along the path, and several newly constructed playgrounds also invite you to linger. Coming from Regensburg, the surface is initially asphalt, later changing to gravel.

Overall, a very nice tour, but because we noticed that the trail was quite steep here, we turned around in Frauenzell. So, the climb from Lindner Weiher wasn't so good.
