After Passau you leave Lower Bavaria behind you and cross on the first stage the border with Austria. It goes on partly steep paths along the Danube towards Engelhartszell with its pretty Trappist monastery and its impressive Rococo style collegiate church. On your way through the nature reserve Donauleiten you will pass the Schlögener Schlinge - a real natural spectacle. Here the Danube makes almost a 180 degree turn. After about 60 kilometers you reach your destination. Overnight stays are available for example in St. Agatha or Haibach.

You can save yourself the way to the castle ruins of Wesen. This is not open as it is privately owned.
