Austria: Along the Danube
Once Sissy steamed down the Danube, on the way to becoming queen of Austria. From her birthplace Bavaria all the way to Vienna people along the river cheered. Now it's tourists who go downstream. Most of them not by boat, not even by car. Along the Danube the bicycle is favourite.

'Ruins of Aggstein castle.'
In the Aggstein stronghold lived robber baron Scheck. If you didn't pay toll for passing the Danube at the foot of his eyrie, you had the choice between the eight meters deep Hungerloch (hunger pit) or a jump from his Rosengärtlein, a nicely smelling balcony with one of the most beautiful views of the Wachau. Today you can enjoy this romantic panorama with a little less stress.
