ザンクト・ゲオルゲン・アン・デア・グセンのおすすめランニングルート

A lovely spot for a break when the weather is nice.

From the banks of the Danube, you can enjoy a view of the Abwinden-Asten power plant, one of the largest run-of-river power plants in Austria. The facility extends over 252 meters and consists of nine Kaplan bulb turbines with a total output of 168 MW. The low-rise design of the powerhouse, which blends seamlessly into the surroundings, is particularly striking. A cycling path runs directly past the power plant, offering both close-up views and photo opportunities. For nature lovers, the fish bypass, opened in 2020, is a highlight, as it allows fish safe passage upstream and supports the ecological sustainability of the power plant. The surroundings along the banks of the Danube are particularly attractive for cyclists who want to enjoy the combination of technology, landscape, and nature.

a good place for a short break

Unfortunately, you can only visit the monastery from the outside.

Here you can cycle in a relaxed manner

The Pulgarn Monastery was owned by the St. Florian Monastery and was sold to the private investor group PULG Immobilien in 2020. They had it listed and renovated it. The monastery complex and the church date from the 16th century. The monastery walls survived two world wars and a confiscation by the National Socialists. From here you can start the hiking trail to the Hohenstein summit cross and to the Stoanan Stubm...🅿️ is available at the entrance to the monastery. The “Memorial Trail” also runs through here and the “Donau-Höhen-Rundwanderweg” is part of the “Hohenstein-Runde”. Have fun hiking🤗☀️🥾🧡

Unfortunately, the monastery + building no longer makes the best impression. According to legend, the place name comes from the Bulgarians who were defeated and settled here 1,400 years ago.
