Donau-Schatz route short

This route leads comfortably along the Danube with about 40 km starting in Ybbs. Over the bridge of the Ybbs-Persenbeug visitor power plant, it goes to Persenbeug, past the Bikearena village renewal Persenbeug-Gottsdorf. In Marbach and Klein-Pöchlarn, the restaurants of the Nibelung region invite you to stop by.

In the Nibelung city Pöchlarn, the Kokoschka Museum offers insights into the work of the great painter Oskar Kokoschka. The Donau.Auszeit.Meadow directly on the Danube invites you to linger or refresh your feet in the Danube.

The route continues to the small town Krummnußbaum. A detour to the nusseum is possible there. The nutcracker collection and delicacies around the nut show another special feature of the region.

The route leads back to Ybbs along the Danube cycle path. There, more opportunities to stop and enjoy regional treats await cyclists as a reward.

Ybbs is easily accessible via the A1 West motorway, Ybbs exit. At the roundabout, take the first exit and then continue straight towards the center.

Coming from Krems or Grein via Wachauerstraße (B3), then over the Ybbs-Persenbeug Danube bridge, it is about 1.5 km to the center.

Travel with ÖBB to the Ybbs/Kemmelbach train station, www.oebb.at. From the station, you can take the bus to the center of Ybbs on the Danube. Further information about bus schedules can be found at www.vor.at 

There are sufficient parking spaces available at the Danube bank in Ybbs.

Tip: The Bee Park in Klein-Pöchlarn offers interesting facts about bees and provides variety with a live beehive during a break. The Bee Bar next door offers cool drinks and traditional food. Play and fun are guaranteed at the adventure playground.

For those with more endurance and stamina, we recommend the Donau-Schatz route medium or the Donau-Schatz route long.
