The start is in Marbach and immediately leads with a steep climb up to Maria Taferl, where you are rewarded for the first time with a view of the Danube and the region. In Maria Taferl you should take some time for a visit to the famous Maria Taferl Basilica or for a refreshment at Freys Wirtshaus and a dessert at Cafe Maria Theresia.
It continues to Artstetten, where one of the cultural treasures of the Nibelungengau, Artstetten Castle, is located. Through the hilly landscape it then goes to Leiben with the Leiben European Castle, which houses the Austrian Agricultural Museum.
With wonderful views, the route continues over the Henzing back to the Danube shore. There, the bathing paradise in Weitenegg invites you to take a break before returning to Marbach via the Danube cycle path.
