    According to legend, at the foot of the Jochenstein, on a rock rising high from the Danube waters, stands a magnificent fairytale castle, ruled by the mermaid Isa (a sister of the Loreley). On bright moonlit nights, she repeatedly appears and reveals herself to fishermen and sailors. When thick fog poses a danger during river travel, she appears to sailors as a warning. Anyone who follows her lure and her song, however, will fall under her spell and must remain in her rocky castle for eternity. The mermaid is also associated with the feared robber baron Othmar Oberhaymer, who repeatedly attacked and robbed merchants from his castle at Marsbach, situated high above the Danube in Upper Austria, before the castle was conquered by Ernst, Duke of Bavaria, in 1516. The wife of the last beheaded Oberhaymer is said to have been a Danube mermaid, unbeknownst to him. When he spied on her bathing in the Danube and discovered her fin, she was taken for

      Very impressive and beautifully presented. Not to be overlooked on the Danube Cycle Path just before/after Passau.

        Legend of the Danube Mermaid Isa
        At the foot of the Jochenstein, a rocky outcrop rising high from the Danube waters, stands a magnificent fairytale castle. The lovely, golden-haired mermaid Isa, a sister of the Lorelei on the Rhine, rules this castle.

            The mermaid Isa is a wooden sculpture designed by Welsh artist Edd Harrison, four of which line the banks of the Danube below Passau.
