Begin this day stage with a short hike – namely to the "Schlögener Donaublick," 30 minutes above the town of Schlögen. From here, you have a magnificent view of the famous Schlögener Danube bend, which changes its course twice shortly one after the other in opposite directions. After a short ferry ride with the Donaubus longitudinal ferry to Grafenau, you will soon cycle along the forested slopes of this river meander.
Passing the small village of Obermühl, you reach the end of the Schlögener bend at Untermühl, where you cross a short section by longitudinal ferry. High above you rises Schloss Neuhaus on a wooded rock (private property).
A little further downstream, near Unterlandshaag in the Freizeltland Feldkirchen on the Danube, the path leads you a short way inland to the campanile in the middle of the center. A stunning panorama is offered by a small detour via the new direct descent to the bathing lake area with a Morotik park, the JETLAKE water sports center, the Donau Golf Club, and a campsite.
After a while, Schloss Ottensheim greets you from a hill above the market town of the same name. The majority of this stage is now behind you – and you have enough time to admire the marketplace of Ottensheim with its elegant townhouses from the 16th century. Soon after, the day's destination Linz is reached – either by bike on the Danube cycle path, by a train journey on the Mühlkreisbahn, or by a water trip with the Donaubus.
