Baroque jewel on the banks of the Traun

Very nice bridge, where you can stop for a short break.

The towpath directly on the bank is accompanied by a parallel, mostly even wider path, which is quieter to ride. Further into the forest there are a variety of singletrack trails - here you always have to expect fallen branches/trees.

Regardless of the water level, the different coloring of the two rivers is clearly visible here - the Alm, as a significantly shorter mountain river, is usually significantly clearer and thus brighter than the Traun, which has already flowed through 2 large lakes

When I travel through Upper Austria, Wels is always an important stop on my route. This city, the second largest in Upper Austria after Linz, is ideally located in the heart of the region. As a passionate train traveler, I'm particularly fascinated by the role of the main train station. Here, the famous Westbahn railway splits, and travelers can choose between two breathtaking routes – one to Salzburg and the other to Passau in Bavaria. With over 60,000 inhabitants, Wels has a vibrant atmosphere that is also reflected in its train station. It's not just a regional hub, but also offers national and international connections, making it easy to explore the impressive cities and landscapes in the surrounding area. While waiting for my train, I can observe the bustling activity at the station, where people from different cultures and countries come together.
