Beautiful section of the Danube Cycle Path.

From the inn you go over the bridge - the drift barrier - wood was once drifted here, and once you get over there is an underground passage (Ilzschleife).

The story behind it is very interesting.

Ilzschleife on the other side 😉

Very interesting story behind it. There is just so much to learn and experience. I had no idea what I was looking at. The bridge pillars are also used as log rakes.

This tunnel significantly shortened the longer route through the Halser river loop. https://www.niederbayern-wiki.de/wiki/Triftsperre

The drift barrier is a result of the once economically important timber rafting in Passau, which began around 1729. In 1788 the first drift regulations were issued in Passau. At that time, the trip on the Ilz from the Bavarian Forest to Passau took about six weeks. From 1827 to 1831, the 115.5 meter long, 3.2 meter wide and 2.3 meter high Triftsperre tunnel was built near Hals, through which the drift water was directed from then on. This tunnel significantly shortened the longer route through the Halser river loop, with which up to 100,000 cubic meters of wood could be transported annually. The drift itself only came to a standstill after the end of the Second World War due to the continuous expansion of the forest roads.

In the Passau district of Hals you will find an industrial monument to the Holztrift. There are remains of the drift barrier that caught the wood, the tunnel that shortened the path through the Ilzschleifen and other historical buildings.
