The Great Danube Loop is a very scenic, flat route along the Danube. It passes by the Nusserl Inn and a playground. It’s ideal for beginners and those getting back into cycling. The route runs parallel to the Danube’s auxiliary channel along a forest trail (Fischerweg) back to the starting point.

Parking is available in town.
