ドナウ周辺のおすすめ交通量の少ないサイクリングルート

Orth an der Donau近郊のドナウサイクリングロードは、ドナウ・アウエン国立公園の中心部を貫いているため、全行程の中でも最も景色の美しい区間の一つです。大都市の人工的な区間とは異なり、ここでは中央ヨーロッパに残された数少ない広大な自然のままの河川敷をサイクリングします。道はしばしば洪水防止堤に沿っており、そこからは葦原とドナウの古い河道の広大な眺めを楽しむことができます。

Schloss Hof

アシャッハ・アン・デア・ドナウは、訪れるとすぐに絵葉書の中にいるような気分になる場所の一つです。オーバーエスターライヒ州（エフェルディング郡）で最も古く、最も魅力的な市場町の一つであり、ドナウ川の大きな湾曲部に直接位置しています。アシャッハは何世紀にもわたり、海運と貿易の重要な結節点でした。これは今日でも町の景観に反映されています。ドナウ川の遊歩道沿いの家並みは、主に16世紀（ルネサンスとバロック様式）のものです。ファサードは見事に修復されており、人気の写真撮影スポットとなっています。
