Of course one of the highlights on the Danube Cycle Path. Definitely go up to the viewpoint. But be careful: the path is very steep and rocky (partly loose scree) and takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Safe footing and sturdy shoes are therefore absolutely necessary. But the view is perfect!

The Danube loop near Schlögen is an absolute top highlight on the Danube and rightly so.

The Schlögener Schlinge is a loop of the river in the upper Danube Valley in Upper Austria, about halfway between Passau and Linz (between river kilometer 2186.5 and 2180.5 of the Danube flowing to the east) and the largest forced meander in Europe. The southern, right bank is in the municipality of Haibach ob der Donau and its district Schlögen, which gives the loop its name. In the north, the municipalities of Hofkirchen im Mühlkreis border with the village of Au and in the far east of Niederkappel with the village of Grafenau in the area of the Danube loop.
