The view of Linz from the viewing platform on Pöstlingberg is breathtaking! From there, you have a magnificent view of the city and the surrounding landscape.

Nice bike path unfortunately very busy

Ottenheim ferry

A beautiful castle

Nice section if you want to cycle from Abwinden towards Mauthausen (or vice versa). Unfortunately you then have to take the B1 towards Ennsdorf to get back onto a nice cycle path to the Mauthausen Bridge

Beautiful climb from Perg to the B124 (between Bad Zell and Pierbach)
