Obernzell is a small market town in the Danube-Forest region, situated directly on the banks of the Danube. The middle of the river here marks the border with Upper Austria. From the opposite bank of the Danube Cycle Path, there is a particularly beautiful view of the town and Obernzell Castle. The historic building and the houses built close to the water blend harmoniously into the landscape and characterize the distinctive appearance of the Danube Valley at this point.

The rock is located downstream from the Jochenstein power plant. In the 18th century a chapel was built there with the patron saint of the shipmen - St. John Nepomuk.

"The Jochenstein is a small rock island on German territory near the German-Austrian border. It is part of the pile, a range of quartz rocks in the Bavarian Forest that runs along the Danube edge through Lower Bavaria."

A beautiful tour along the Danube. Superb bike paths. So much to see, simply amazing!

Showing Translation

Beautiful tour always along the Danube with very few inclines (exceptions see below), mostly on separate cycle paths.
It is best to park in the multi-storey car park in Ilzstadt, alternatively in the center of Passau.
Separate bike path to Obernzell, then continue on the road with little traffic to Jochenstein. The Engelhartszell ferry can only be reached on a …

It is really beautiful on the Danube, unfortunately the ferry in Engelhartszell stops at 5.30pm, so we didn't have time for the town because we had to go back a bit. Then at the power station we were shocked that we had to climb the steps over tracks that were far too narrow, and the push aid didn't work properly. …

Our goal was to travel the Danube from Passau to Spitz in our motorhome. Our first stop was the campsite in Engelhartszell.
The first tour took us upstream from Engelhartszell to Passau. From the Engelhartszell campsite, we cycled along the right bank of the Danube to Passau. After a break and a stopover in the city center, we cycled back …

Today, in the sunshine, I thought I'd head towards Austria 🚴☀️🔄. So, I drove to Passau at the P+R Kapuzinerstraße parking lot for €4 for the whole day.👍 From there, I headed towards Engelhardtzell on the Austrian side. After the first kilometer, I came to the turnoff to the view of Passau from Cafe Blass, which was very nice up …

Danube Cycle Path section Passau to Engelhardszell only between the Danube and the main road. Idyllic is something else. Not recommendable

Showing Translation

The tour on the Bavarian side almost always takes you along the main road after the German border. if there is a lot of traffic, not so great. The city passage in Passau is very nice, lots of pretty houses!
The return trip on the Austrian side is often on the road, but much more green through the forest. Would …

🎵 The Danube so green! 🎶

On our way to Italy, another 3 days in Austria.

Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow we will do the extension of this tour. Curious if the weather will be as nice. And if it will be blue...
