    Roadbook

    This route leads comfortably along the Danube with about 40 km starting in Ybbs. Over the bridge of the Ybbs-Persenbeug visitor power plant, it goes to Persenbeug, past the Bikearena village renewal Persenbeug-Gottsdorf. In Marbach and Klein-Pöchlarn, the restaurants of the Nibelung region invite you to stop by.

    In the Nibelung city Pöchlarn, the Kokoschka Museum offers insights into the work of the great painter Oskar Kokoschka. The Donau.Auszeit.Meadow directly on the Danube invites you to linger or refresh your feet in the Danube.

    The route continues to the small town Krummnußbaum. A detour to the nusseum is possible there. The nutcracker collection and delicacies around the nut show another special feature of the region.

    The route leads back to Ybbs along the Danube cycle path. There, more opportunities to stop and enjoy regional treats await cyclists as a reward.
