View of Ybbs and the Alps

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view across the Danube to Ybbs, with the majestic Alps in the background, is definitely a panorama worth seeing. This view combines the idyllic river landscape of the Danube with the impressive mountain peaks, making the region a special highlight for cyclists. In the evening, when the low sun bathes the Alps in a golden light, the scene is particularly impressive.

Danube Bend Persenbeug–Gottsdorf

Highlight (Segment) • River

The Danube Loop (formerly also known as the Böse Beuge) is located between Ybbs an der Donau and Gottsdorf in Lower Austria. The loop lies at the beginning of the Nibelungengau region. Within the Danube Loop lies the so-called Scheibe (also known as the Gottsdorfer Scheibe), which is covered with gravel. The Danube Loop extends from Persenbeug, which derives its name from the "Böse Beuge" (Evil Bend), to Gottsdorf.

Until the 18th century, rocks protruded into the shipping lane. Some of these rocks were blasted between 1770 and 1780, but contact with the subsoil still occurred. The riverbed was only leveled with the construction of the Ybbs-Persenbeug power plant. Flood protection measures were further improved at the beginning of the 3rd millennium.

A very beautiful section of this route, through a magnificent landscape. Well-developed, paved, and easy to navigate. Gentle climbs and descents are present along this stretch. Just cycle in a relaxed manner and capture the beautiful impressions.

On the left bank of the Danube, directly on the cycle path, is the Marbach marina. Benches on the bank invite you to take a short rest, and the Alte Fähre restaurant is nearby.
