ペヒラルンのおすすめツーリングルート

マリア・ターフェルは、マリアツェルに次いでニーダーエスターライヒ州で最も重要な巡礼地であり、バロック様式の総合芸術作品です。教会はオーストリアのバロック建築の「重要人物」です。その前に立つと、当時の絶対的なエリートの作品を見ることができます。建設は1660年にダニエル・グランの下で始まりましたが、シュティフト・メルクの創作者であるヤコブ・プランドタウアーとヨーゼフ・ムンゲナストによって完成されました。印象的な双子の塔と明るいファサードは、ドナウ渓谷の王冠のように見えるように配置されています。

A detour to the town center of Pöchlarn is highly recommended for cyclists on the Danube Cycle Path. The center is easily accessible from the riverbank, usually in just a few minutes via short cycle paths or quiet streets. There, you can explore the charming old town, take a break at one of the cafes or restaurants, or visit a small shop. After your visit, the route leads easily back to the Danube Cycle Path, making this detour a perfect addition to a day trip.

It is the most important pilgrimage site in Lower Austria and the second largest in Austria after Mariazell. The basilica is an impressive early Baroque building with a striking twin-tower facade.

The castle is prominently situated on a rock on the right bank of the Danube, above the municipality of Persenbeug-Gottsdorf, at the transition from the Strudengau to the Nibelungengau.

There is good transport connection from Pöchlarn train station.

The bridge over the Melk River, just before its confluence with the Danube, offers outstanding views of the river, its estuary, and the surrounding landscape. Melk Abbey, a Benedictine monastery of outstanding historical and cultural significance, rises within sight. Founded in the 11th century, it received its present Baroque appearance in the 18th century under the direction of Jakob Prandtauer. The abbey impresses with its magnificent library, ornate state rooms, and the Baroque abbey church with its striking onion domes and magnificent frescoes. As part of the Wachau UNESCO World Heritage Site, the abbey attracts numerous visitors every year and, together with the view from the bridge, forms a particularly impressive panorama of the region.

Melk's town square forms the historic and vibrant center of the town. Surrounded by well-preserved house facades, cafés, and shops, it invites you to stroll and linger. Particularly striking is its proximity to Melk Abbey, which towers high above the square. As the town's central meeting place, the square regularly serves as the setting for markets, festivals, and cultural events, while also providing an ideal starting point for exploring the town and its surroundings.
