Soon, you reach the world famous “Schlögener Schlinge”, where the River Danube made its way in millenniums through the hard granite rock in a S loop. Fortresses and ruins flank the wooded hills and emboss the scenery. Family tip: Walk to the viewpoint of the “Schlögener Schlinge”.

Day 4: Obermühl–Eferding, approx. 22 km

As soon as you leave behind the Upper Danube Valley, the fertile Eferdinger Becken spreads out before you.
