Pöchlarn Danube Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Pedestrians and cyclists are guided to the opposite riverside path via a multi-level 204 m long spiral. The bridge connects Wiener Straße (B1) with Donau Straße (B3) just east of Pöchlarn and thus creates another access point from the southern Waldviertel near Klein-Pöchlarn to the West Autobahn.

View of Melk Dam and Power Plant

Highlight • Viewpoint

A look back is sometimes quite good, because the view of the barrage is great.

The Melk power plant is a run-of-river power plant on the Danube in the immediate vicinity of the famous Melk Abbey. In order to affect the landscape as little as possible, the electricity generated is not transported via overhead lines, but via underground cables in the dike on the right bank to the high-voltage grid.

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view of Melk Abbey is an impressive experience that highlights both the historical and architectural significance of this baroque jewel. Melk Abbey, a Benedictine monastery, towers majestically above the Danube and is a landmark of the Wachau region.

Jauerling Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

At 960 meters, the Jauerling is the highest mountain on the Danube. At the summit is the almost 40 meter high lookout point, from which you have a magnificent all-round view. Around the tower there are also several benches and tables for a rest, a herb garden, a café and a mineral exhibition. It is open daily from April to October from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
