The Danube Cycle Path offers a beautiful view of the Aggstein Castle ruins, perched on a rock high above the Danube. The castle was built at the beginning of the 12th century, expanded in the 14th century, and fortified in the 15th century. Today, sections of the walls, towers, and battlements still remain, giving an impression of its strategic location and medieval construction. The ruins are an important historical monument of the Wachau region and a popular viewpoint along the cycle path.
