'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.

'Clique at dusk.'

During large parts of the Basler Fasnacht (carnival of Basel) the streets are occupied by Cliques (groups or bands). This beautiful ensemble is photographed before sunrise after Morgestraich, the start of the carnival at 4 a.m. on Monday. Photo Paul Smit.

'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.

'Wine and food directly at the grower.'

East of Krems you find many Kellergassen, like here in Rohrendorf. These are sunken roads lined with wine cellars buried in the earth, where winegrowers offer wine and a good Jausen (harty food). Photo Paul Smit
