Description

Enjoy nature in the middle of the city. This is made possible by the idyllic Ybbs riverside path, which is just a few minutes away from the city center. At the Ybbsturm, nature lovers can embark on a relaxing and interesting hike along the Ybbs river. Information boards provide information about the regional economic and cultural history, nature and fish. The Ybbsuferweg is accessible from May to October. Approx. 15 minutes walk from the Ybbsturm to Ybbsitzerstraße (level with Florianibrücke).

Walking back along the same path reveals new perspectives of the Ybbs landscape that were previously hidden.
