The ruin Donaustauf is a beautiful lookout point and you can reach them by car, bike or on foot without major problems. The ascent from the center takes you up stairs to the castle and can easily be integrated into any tour in the area.

The ruin is well integrated in a hike to the Walhalla of Danaustauf.

Beautiful and above all, large castle above the Danube. With incredible vision in good weather. The castle gates are very powerful and give a great idea of the former protective wall. Lovingly cared for and gorgeous in construction. You can explore many nooks and crannies. For kids and dogs a dream :-)
