The unique natural landscape of the Donau-Auen near the Greifenstein power plant offers numerous animal species, many of them endangered, a natural habitat. Alluvial forests are characterized by the dynamics of the flowing water and the regular flooding and have a special aura. As if you were entering a mysterious world of your own.

Cycling

The natural landscape of the Danube floodplains presents itself as a vast, green area with river arms, meadows, and shady floodplain forests. Those cycling here can leisurely explore the tranquil river landscape along the paths, observe small bird colonies, and experience the blend of nature and technology of the power plant up close. The route offers repeated picturesque views of the Danube and invites you to take short breaks to enjoy the special atmosphere of the floodplain landscape.
