Perfect cycle paths on both sides, landscape very beautiful. Only disadvantage, the wind attacks fully. Without an e-bike, one should consider the wind direction and strength when planning.

Weitenegg Castle Ruin is one of the most historically significant and impressive ruins in the Nibelungengau. It sits enthroned on a narrow rocky ridge directly above the Danube and the Melk power plant, exactly where the Weitental valley flows into the Danube valley. The castle was already mentioned in documents in the 12th century (around 1108). Its location was ingenious: from here, both the ship traffic on the Danube and the trade route into the Weitental valley (towards the Waldviertel) could be perfectly controlled. Over the centuries, it belonged to powerful noble families, including the Kuenringers and later the Habsburgs. From the 17th century onwards, the castle was hardly inhabited and fell into disrepair, until it finally became a ruin.

Today, Pöchlarn is an exciting mix of a highly modern logistics center on the Danube and a town that traces its roots back to Roman times. Long before the Nibelungs passed through the town, Pöchlarn was an important Roman base called Arelape. It was a fort directly on the Danube Limes. A part of the Roman Danube fleet was stationed here. During excavations in the town area (especially in the area of the church), ancient finds have been made again and again, proving how strategically important this place was even 2,000 years ago.

Pöchlarn is a town with an extremely deep history that goes far beyond the townscape of today. It is located in the Melk district on the southern bank of the Danube and is often referred to as the "Nibelungen City". Pöchlarn is inextricably linked to the Nibelungenlied, the famous medieval epic. In the city center you will find the modern Nibelungen monument with the coats of arms of the cities that appear in the epic. It is a must for a photo when you are in town.

Maria Taferl, after Mariazell, is the most important pilgrimage site in Lower Austria and a baroque work of art. The church is a "Who-is-Who" of Austrian Baroque architecture. Standing in front of it, you are looking at the work of the absolute elite of this time. Construction began in 1660 under Daniel Gran, but it was completed by none other than Jakob Prandtauer (the creator of Stift Melk) and Joseph Munggenast. The striking twin towers and the bright facade are placed in such a way that they look like a crown over the Danube valley.

From the Danube Cycle Path, there is an impressive view of Maria Taferl, picturesquely perched on a hill overlooking the Danube. The pilgrimage basilica, visible from afar, dominates the landscape and serves as a prominent landmark for cyclists. The view is particularly beautiful when approaching the area around Marbach or Pöchlarn: the church rises above the river valley, surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards, offering a harmonious interplay of nature, culture, and spirituality along the Danube Cycle Path.

A detour to the town center of Pöchlarn is highly recommended for cyclists on the Danube Cycle Path. The center is easily accessible from the riverbank, usually in just a few minutes via short cycle paths or quiet streets. There, you can explore the charming old town, take a break at one of the cafes or restaurants, or visit a small shop. After your visit, the route leads easily back to the Danube Cycle Path, making this detour a perfect addition to a day trip.

It is the most important pilgrimage site in Lower Austria and the second largest in Austria after Mariazell. The basilica is an impressive early Baroque building with a striking twin-tower facade.
