The cycling path will follow the Danube reaching the town of Engelhartszell, where the only Trappist monastery in Austria is located.

You will ride through the nature reserve of the Donauleiten towards the historic city of Linz, offering a wide range of pubs and eateries.

Halfway, the route leads you through the Strudengau valley, a part of the river once feared by sailors fighting the strong currents. Today it is one of the most enjoyable parts to cycle.
