도나우-아우엔 국립공원 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

The Andreas Maurer Bridge is a striking structure for all those traveling on the Danube Cycle Path (R1). It is not only an important traffic artery but also a strategic point for cyclists in eastern Austria. The bridge spans the Danube near Bad Deutsch-Altenburg and connects the south bank (Bruck an der Leitha district) with the north bank (near Stopfenreuth, Gänserndorf district).

In the Lobau, an obelisk-like monument commemorates Napoleon I's headquarters during the 1809 campaign. In the spring and summer of that year, Napoleon used the Lobau as a strategic location to coordinate his troops in the lead-up to the Battle of Aspern, which took place on May 21 and 22, 1809, and became one of Napoleon's rare military defeats. The monument itself bears an inscription plaque highlighting the historical significance of the site and is part of the Napoleon Trail, which leads to several memorial stones and historical sites in the Danube floodplain. Visitors can not only gain insight into Vienna's military history but also experience the natural surroundings of the Lobau with its riparian forests and waterways, which were considered strategically important then as they are now.

Napoleon camped here with approximately 75,000 soldiers before suffering defeat at the Battle of Aspern. Then, as now, there are unfortunately too many rulers interested in war.

A wonderful place to watch birds.

Unfortunately, cycling below the dam in the Lobau has been prohibited for the past two years. There are also exorbitant fines.

From the cycle path along the B9, a sweeping view opens up over fields toward Bratislava. The route runs mostly flat through open agricultural landscapes, allowing unobstructed vistas. Between the green fields, the silhouette of the city of Bratislava with its striking buildings can be seen in the distance. Especially in clear weather, the view appears expansive and flooded with light, and the open landscape conveys a sense of peace and space as you leisurely cycle along the cycle path.

The Götzenturm (Idol Tower) is a medieval defensive tower on the city wall of Hainburg an der Donau, built in the 13th century as part of the city's fortifications. Often referred to today as the "Water Tower," the building originally had nothing to do with water supply – the name was erroneously coined by locals. The tower was part of the fortifications for the city's defense and, with its solid construction, small window openings, and elevated position, offers a good overview of the Danube and the surrounding area. For cyclists on the Danube Cycle Path or passing through Hainburg's old town, the Götzenturm is a striking landmark and an impressive relic from the time when Hainburg was one of Austria's most powerful fortress towns.
