Route description Nature Treasure Route

The route takes you along the Danube Cycle Path to Persenbeug-Gottsdorf, further to Ysperdorf, and then turns towards the Ysper Valley. Part of the route follows the Ysper Valley Cycle Path, and via Münichreith you reach Hilmanger.

There, the efforts of the route are rewarded with a wonderful view of Maria Taferl, the Danube valley, and the Alpine foothills, before returning to Marbach.

Directions

Marbach is accessible via the A1 West Motorway, Pöchlarn exit. At the exit, take the first exit in the roundabout, after about 1 km turn left towards the Danube bridge. Cross the bridge, then keep left on Wachauerstraße (B3) until you reach Marbach.

From Krems or Grein, come via Wachauerstraße (B3) to Marbach.

Parking

There are sufficient parking spaces on the Danube waterfront in Marbach.

Public – by train to Krummnußbaum, ferry (Hell) to Marbach, or by bus from Ybbs to Marbach.

Travel with ÖBB to the Pöchlarn train stop - timetable query. From the station, take the bus to Marbach - timetable information.

Or: take ÖBB to the Krummnußbaum train stop and cross the Danube with the Hell ferry to Marbach.

We recommend arriving by car, as public transport does not cover a seamless connection.
