The family-friendly route starts at Schloss Eckartsau and leads through the floodplain in a southern direction to the Danube Cycle Path (EV6). You cycle about 6 km westward to the turnoff to Orth/Donau. From there, turn right to Orth, passing the castle and the National Park Center and then return over lightly trafficked agricultural roads to Eckartsau. The castles Eckartsau and Orth are highly recommended as sightseeing tips.
Author’s recommendation
Visit the castles Eckartsau and Orth/Donau, as well as the Donau-Auen National Park.
Along the Schlösserreich bike routes, artistically designed rest stops invite you to pause, discover, and solve puzzles. They offer exciting insights into history, routes, and excursion tips – bringing a piece of castle culture into the great outdoors. One of these rest stops is located directly on this route, right on the bike path between the Danube Cycle Path and Schloss Orth – including puzzle fun for young and old!
