Danube Treasure Route medium

This leisurely route along the river covers about 50 km, starting in Ybbs. Over the bridge of the Ybbs-Persenbeug power plant, it goes to Persenbeug, passing the bike arena village renewal Persenbeug-Gottsdorf. In Marbach and Klein-Pöchlarn, the gastronomy businesses of the Nibelung region invite you to stop for a meal.

The bathing paradise in Weitenegg invites you to take a swim break in summer before the route crosses to the opposite Danube side via the Melk power plant. In Pöchlarn, the Nibelung monument tells about the history of the region. The route continues past Krummnußbaum, accompanied by impressive views of the opposite Danube side with Marbach and Maria Taferl before returning to Ybbs.

In Ybbs, the Danube Lodge or the Maximahl await to recharge and relax after the physical effort.

And if you have more time: the bicycle museum in Ybbs tells “wild stories.”

There are ample parking spaces available at the Danube waterfront in Ybbs.
