The Korneuburg–Klosterneuburg roll-on/roll-off ferry is a unique Danube bridge between the Tulln Danube Bridge and the Vienna North Bridge. It connects the two Lower Austrian towns of Korneuburg on the left bank and Klosterneuburg on the right bank of the Danube. The ferry is a reaction ferry. This means it uses the current of the Danube for propulsion. This makes it a particularly environmentally friendly and interesting way to cross the river. The ferry is located at river kilometer 1941. Currently, service ends at 8:00 p.m. The last crossing from Korneuburg to Klosterneuburg is at 7:50 p.m. Thus, the Korneuburg–Klosterneuburg roll-on/roll-off ferry is, like any other ferry, the ONLY way to cross the Danube between the Tulln Danube Bridge and the Vienna North Bridge. 🤯 It's a total game-changer, connecting the dope cities of Korneuburg on the left bank and Klosterneuburg on the right bank of the Danube.

In the heart of Lower Austria, there's a truly wonderful inn that immediately appeals to you. The menu is truly interesting and offers far more than just the usual schnitzel and farmer's fare. Great emphasis is placed on quality and style here – and you can taste it! From creative starters to tempting main courses, everyone will find something to make their mouth water. The service is particularly noteworthy: You feel like you're visiting old friends! When you first walk through the lovingly designed doors, you immediately sense this warm atmosphere – and it remains the same with every visit. The ambiance, with its exposed wall paintings and tranquil garden, is an added bonus, inviting you to linger. It's simply the perfect place to enjoy delicious food in a cozy atmosphere. If you're not happy here, it's your own fault!

Since the bypass opened, the road here has been relatively quiet. It's a shame, though, for those residents whose homes had to be demolished...
