View of Persenbeug Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

A very beautiful view and a beautiful view of the castle! It looks imposing and magnificent, so close and above the Danube. Beautiful! Just take a short break and take in the perspective. The first historical mention of the castle dates back to 907. The Bavarian Sieghart, Count of Sempt and Ebersberg, took possession of "Bösenberg" and fortified it.

Danube Cycle Path: Between Gottsdorf and Marbach

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The section of the Danube Cycle Path between Gottsdorf and Marbach is largely flat and well-maintained. The route leads through idyllic floodplain landscapes, past meadows, fields, and typical Wachau villages, offering beautiful views of the river at every turn. It's a fantastic stretch of road that's easy to cycle without any particular difficulties, making for a particularly relaxing tour. Cyclists benefit from a comfortable, paved path suitable for both leisurely rides and more spirited cycling. Along the way, charming villages like Marbach invite you to take a break. The combination of nature, panoramic views of the Danube, and a tranquil route makes this section a truly beautiful and relaxing tour along the Danube.

August 8, 2025,Melk - Ybbs - Melk

For today, we had chosen another beautiful tour along both banks of the Danube, a bit upstream, between Melk and Ybbs. This is no longer part of the Wachau, but it still offered some beautiful views! 😍

Stopovers included Oskar Kokoschka's birthplace of Pöchlarn, Ybbs, the Danube power plants Melk and Persenbeug with their large locks, and the lovely Café …

Today a bike tour to the forest chapel Steinbründl is announced. It was very easy to cycle down because the wind pushed us. Up it was pedalling, since an e.bike is an advantage.
Super nice bike tour with dear friends, fun guaranteed.

September 13, 2022,5 Donau Von Melk nach Ypps

You should definitely visit Melk Abbey and plan enough time. I've visited a lot of churches and monasteries, but this one is in great condition and worth seeing. Don't forget the abbey garden either. Otherwise, the Danube looks more like a canal, straightened by the power plants. Only in the Wachau area did the river look like a river. Don't …

June 23, 2025,Donauradweg von Melk nach Ybbs ⛅

A beautiful circular tour along the Danube. We started from the campsite in Schönbühel, passed the imposing Melk Abbey, and continued over the old St. Leopold lift bridge, which was saved from being blown up by the citizens of Melk during World War II. The cycle path to Ybbs runs directly along the banks of the Danube. At the Ybbs …

The route from Ypps to Melk was unspectacular, but Melk Abbey was all the more impressive. The town of Melk also has its charm.

..... and the Danube was also moving strongly with strong waves 🌊
Over the bridge at Persenbeug, which also has a hydroelectric power station and lock, today to Ybbs, which was a huge disappointment for us.
You are guided by bike to the old town, although it has almost only empty houses and is unkempt!
It's been years since I …
