Hollenstein – an idyllic village in the Ybbs Valley and a popular stopover for cyclists on the Ybbs Valley Cycle Path. The route runs along the Ybbs River through a striking river and mountain landscape, offering numerous opportunities for breaks in nature or a refreshing dip in the river. In Hollenstein, the town center invites you to linger with its restaurants and regional flair. A great route through a magnificent landscape. A very nice tour, well worth it.
The Sheep's Cheese Express was the affectionate nickname of the former Ybbs Valley Railway, which once crossed the Ybbs Valley and was used to transport sheep's cheese and other goods. Today, an original carriage, a time travel carriage, in the town center of Hollenstein an der Ybbs, commemorates this history. Inside, visitors will find a small exhibition with original equipment, photos, videos, and eyewitness accounts of the railway and regional life of that time. Today's Ybbs Valley Cycle Path runs largely along the former railway line and passes directly by the carriage. For cyclists, this is an ideal opportunity for a break with cultural insight into the valley's past – surrounded by nature and with direct reference to the history of the route.
