Schlögen - Obermühl - Untermühl - Unterlandshaag - Feldkirchen - Ottensheim - Linz
Route Description
You start this route by crossing from Schlögen to the northern Danube bank with the bike ferry and bridging a pathless stretch with the Au-Grafenau longitudinal ferry. As soon as you have solid ground underfoot again, you cycle along the river course, take the small detour at Obermühl, and after some time arrive in Untermühl. Above you, you see Schloss Neuhaus.
At Unterlandshaag opposite the Donaumarkt Aschach, you say goodbye to the Danube and follow the path through Feldkirchen, a rural cultural landscape and an important region for fruit and vegetable cultivation. Here too, there is the opportunity to admire a medieval splendid building. However, Schloss Mühldorf (hotel operation) is privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside.
Shortly after passing Feldkirchen, the path runs again along the Danube bank. You cycle past the Feldkirchen bathing lakes, where a stop and a jump into the cool water is worth it (water skiing, diving, wakeboarding, etc.), and finally reach Ottensheim. After a last rest there and a meal in one of the many restaurants, it is only a short way to the stage destination Linz, whose cathedral you can already see from afar.
TIP: Enjoy either a train ride from Ottensheim to Linz on the Mühlkreisbahn at the end of this stage (here's the timetable) or end the stage with a trip on the water with the Donaubus. Bike transport is free. On lovely days, a reservation is recommended. (Here’s the reservation)
