Smit & Palarczyk > [AUSTRIA.OBER 04203] 'Cycling the Donauradweg.' Europe's favourite cycling route, the Donauradweg, mostly follows former towpaths. In the old days about sixty heavy horses were needed to tow one boat upstream. The cobbled paths, neglected since the time of the steamboats, were asphalted in the eighties and built the frame of the cycling route from Passau to Budapest ever since. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [AUSTRIA.OBER 04195] '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. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [AUSTRIA.OBER 04239] 'Library of Stift St. Florian.' The monks of the Augustine St. Florian monastery do not belong to a mendicant order; it's wealth whereever you look, like in this sumptuous baroque library. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [AUSTRIA.OBER 04242] "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. Photo Paul Smit.

Smit & Palarczyk > [AUSTRIA.OBER 04193] 'Sleeping beauty.' 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. Photo Paul Smit.

Smit & Palarczyk > [AUSTRIA.OBER 04179] '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. Photo Paul Smit.
