Tips from the Community
The carousel at the Ebelsberg bridge down to the bike path on the Traun was obviously built for "riding" - but from below it is only marked as a footpath with an additional sign "Pushing bicycles permitted" 🙁 - I just "pushed" with the pedals 🙄

In the northern area of the Stadtberg, the first ruler's or duke's palace (stone building) was erected around 1100. When this also became dilapidated, the Ennsegg Castle was built instead. The newly renovated castle with its castle garden invites admiration and relaxation. It was built in 1569/70 by the imperial councilor Dr. Gienger and expanded in the 17th century with baroque additions. After the Battle of Ebelsberg, Napoleon quartered himself in the castle. From there, he observed the reconstruction of the destroyed Enns bridge. Even today, this view is called "Napoleon's View" (Napoleonblick).

The Austrian Danube Cycle Path (Donauradweg) is practically the „gold standard“ of cycle path infrastructure in Europe. As it is part of the European EuroVelo Route 6, the signage is extremely well-developed, but at first glance, it can appear a bit complex due to the different logos. At bridges or power plants, there are special signs („Donauquerung“) that show you how to get to the other side, if the route is more beautiful or shorter there.

Lake Plesching near Linz is a popular destination and offers ideal conditions for cyclists. A flat, approximately two-kilometer-long circular route runs directly along the water and is perfect for leisurely rides or family outings. The lake is located near the Danube Cycle Path and is easily accessible via lakeside paths, making it a worthwhile detour for touring cyclists. For more ambitious cyclists, a variety of mountain bike trails start nearby at Pfenningberg. With seating areas, restaurants, playgrounds, and well-maintained lawns for sunbathing, Lake Plesching is also an ideal spot for a relaxing break during a bike tour.

From the banks of the Danube, you can enjoy a view of the Abwinden-Asten power plant, one of the largest run-of-river power plants in Austria. The facility extends over 252 meters and consists of nine Kaplan bulb turbines with a total output of 168 MW. The low-rise design of the powerhouse, which blends seamlessly into the surroundings, is particularly striking. A cycling path runs directly past the power plant, offering both close-up views and photo opportunities. For nature lovers, the fish bypass, opened in 2020, is a highlight, as it allows fish safe passage upstream and supports the ecological sustainability of the power plant. The surroundings along the banks of the Danube are particularly attractive for cyclists who want to enjoy the combination of technology, landscape, and nature.
