Obernzell Castle & Castle Park

Highlight • Castle

The Passau Bishop Georg von Hohenlohe († 1423) began the construction of a moated castle, which his successor Leonhard von Laiming completed in 1426. In the years 1581 to 1583, Prince-Bishop Urban von Trennbach had the building expanded into a representative Renaissance palace.

The castle was until the 19th century seat of episcopal orderlies. Occasionally the prince-bishops also stayed here, for example in 1680, when a city fire devastated the residence. After the secularization in 1803/1806, the state of Bavaria took over the building and used it as an office building. The old gate tower was demolished in 1816. 1975 to 1977, the castle was fundamentally restored and made accessible to the public as a ceramic museum.

Jochenstein rock island with statue of Saint John of Nepomuk

Highlight • Natural Monument

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."

Donaunixe Isa Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

Since the mermaid is a hybrid creature, Michael Lauss has chosen two materials: Firstly, the base of the sculpture was carved from a 1.50 meter wide, long and deep granite stone showing a rock and the long fishtail of the mermaid. The body was made of oak wood molded with a chainsaw. The stone stands for eternal existence, while the wood will weather. Before Isa sits a swan behind which she hides, depending on the perspective of the beholder. Since its unveiling in April 2015, Isa is in the same place as her predecessor, but looks in contrast to the "old" mermaid on the Danube and "greets the shipping" (M.Lauss).

The three communities Thyrnau, Obernzell and Untergriesbach have chosen the legendary mermaid Isa as a symbol for tourism advertising, as the mermaid should draw the tourists as in the legend. They should thus spend time and again in these three communities their vacation.

Bavaria–Austria border crossing at Jochenstein

Highlight • Monument

Here you cycle from Austria to Germany - or vice versa. If there were no signage, the cyclists would not notice the boundaries. When the tree has finished eating the sign, there is a Bavarian shield for safety. You can rest on a bench and watch the Danube fly by.

Jochenstein Lock and Hydropower Plant

Highlight • Monument

The way over the lock takes you from Germany to Austria.
But be careful: you have to climb a stairwell with 40 steps on each side. A simple pushing aid for bicycles was installed next to the stairs. It's good if you're not traveling alone, otherwise it can get pretty exhausting.
Opening times: 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. all year round
