"Arching like a Celt.'
Excavation of the Century they called the events following a farmer ploughing up a little bronze ring in 1980, near Mitterkirchen. Eighty Celtic graves saw the light and inspired village officials and archeologists to reconstruct a Celtic settlement, including a burial mound. Visitors are not only invited to have a look in this prehistorical open air museum, they can do things themselves. Like arching.

'Buying the best ciders.'
Between Enns and the Strudengau, behind the right shore of the Danube, lies the Mostviertel, the Cider Region. Most means cider as well as juice. Herber Most is cider, but forget about the dry apple beer as we know it. Herber Most is refreshingly acid with a velvety aftertaste, has no bubbles and is made for 2/3 from pears. Süßmost is the unfermented juice of both apples and pears. The best address for tasting and buying ciders is the Mostgalerie in Stift Ardagger.

'National Park Donau-Auen.'
Just outside the eastern gates of Vienna the quiet of nature begins. National Park Donau-Auen (Floodplains of the Danube) gives the river the chance to relax after it has left it's main water source, the Alps, behind. Old river arms revive when the water level rises, like in this picture, to become clear lakes when the level falls. Actually the Danube breathes through a net of side arms, covered in riparian forest. Life is abundand, even turtles live here in the wild.

'Schlögener Schlinge.'
After cycling, walking is the most popular activity along the Danube. For instance at the Donau-Höhen-Rundwanderweg (Danube Hills Path) between Passau and Linz. Favourite spot for a break is the viewpoint above the rivers's largest loop near Schlögen, nicely called Schlögener Schlinge.
