    Here you cycle from Austria to Germany - or vice versa. If there were no signage, the cyclists would not notice the boundaries. When the tree has finished eating the sign, there is a Bavarian shield for safety. You can rest on a bench and watch the Danube fly by.

      The border between today's Bavaria and the Upper Austrian Mühlviertel from Jochenstein to the north was established in 1765 by a state treaty between the Principality of Passau and the Archduchy of Austria.

      The so-called wet border between Bavaria and (Upper) Austria, which ends at the mouth of the Dandlbach about 940 meters below the Jochenstein, begins a good 20 kilometers upstream at Kräutelstein and follows the valley path of the Danube.

      The state border with Austria used to run on the right bank of the Danube. The current border was determined by the Bavarian-Austrian border treaty of December 2, 1851, which defines the course of the border in the Danube between Kräutelstein (Kreitelstein) and Dandlbach on the »Hauptthalweg«. In the same contract, a border straightening in the area of the herb (dig) brook was agreed.

        In the vicinity of Jochenstein we came to the border between Austria and the Free State of Bavaria, with the corresponding evidence of behavior in Bavaria. and the indication that the Danube Cycle Path is the smuggler's route at this point. 🤔 From the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany nothing was to be seen at this point.
