The small alleys ("Hauptstraße") around the town hall square already have a "Wachau flair" 😉

An impressive, over 600-year-old linden tree, declared a natural monument in 1989. Right next to it is the Café zur Linde, very fitting.

The Danube Loop (formerly also known as the Böse Beuge) is located between Ybbs an der Donau and Gottsdorf in Lower Austria. The loop lies at the beginning of the Nibelungengau region. Within the Danube Loop lies the so-called Scheibe (also known as the Gottsdorfer Scheibe), which is covered with gravel. The Danube Loop extends from Persenbeug, which derives its name from the "Böse Beuge" (Evil Bend), to Gottsdorf. Until the 18th century, rocks protruded into the shipping lane. Some of these rocks were blasted between 1770 and 1780, but contact with the subsoil still occurred. The riverbed was only leveled with the construction of the Ybbs-Persenbeug power plant. Flood protection measures were further improved at the beginning of the 3rd millennium. A very beautiful section of this route, through a magnificent landscape. Well-developed, paved, and easy to navigate. Gentle climbs and descents are present along this stretch. Just cycle in a relaxed manner and capture the beautiful impressions.

A mighty tree, has already "experienced" a lot

Super great and well-kept tree in the middle of town.

She experienced the plague in the Middle Ages, the Thirty Years' War, the comings and goings of the generations at Persenbeug Castle - people who held court under her and people who married under her. The "linden tree on the square" is over 700 years old. It was planted around 1300, just as the Habsburgs had gained control of the Duchy of Austria. Since then, it has seen turbulent times and has become a symbol of the town.

The castle was first mentioned in history in 907. The Bavarian Sieghart, Count zu Sempt and Ebersberg, took possession of “Bösenberg” and fortified it. Over the centuries the castle changed hands many times. It was owned by the Austrian imperial family until 1593. Today the castle is owned by their descendants, the Habsburg-Lothringen and Waldburg-Zeil families.
