Austria: Along the Danube
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.

'St. Pauls church and cathedral in Passau.'
Passau is the last German city before the Austrian border and maybe the prettiest. Here the Inn flows into the Danube and the Ilz as well. You never need to search a long time to find a river front promenade. The Inn is green and the Ilz brown, so whatever people sing about the Danube, this never adds up to blue.

'Bavarian drinking beer.'
Typical Bavaria: drinking a Mass of beer. Passau, where the photo is taken, has a southern spirit with its street cafés and its river front promenades along the Danube, the Inn and the Ilz.

'Stift Engelszell at the Danube.'
At Austria's only Trappist monastery the monks don't brew beer but stronger stuff, like a nice, very creamy advocaat. After a visit to the church you indeed need a nip; quite shocking, these skeletons of saints in their gilded glass coffins.

Quite a sight, these skeletons of saints in their gilded glass coffins in Stift Engelszell, located on the banks of the Danube near Engelshartzell. After a visit you could need a nip. Fortunately, the monks at Austria's only Trappist monastery distillate good drinks. Like a nice, very creamy advocaat.

'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.
