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 …

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 …

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 …

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.
