From Mitterkirchen to Ybbs (Danube Cycle Path)

From Mitterkirchen in the Machland, we turn onto the main road towards Mettensdorf, then continue to Pitzing. Before reaching Eizendorf, a road branches off to the right towards the Danube. We come across a bathing lake and turn left at its tip, then turn right onto the next field path and reach the cycle path at the Danube bank. We arrive in Dornach and decide to take the cycle path between the Danube and the railway line towards Grein. In Grein, we can take a break in a nice café and then visit the old town and especially the Historic City Theatre. Afterwards, we head back to the bridge in front of the town. We cross the bridge ("Greiner Bundesstraße"), turn left onto the side street on the other side, and continue along the Danube through partly very densely wooded areas to Willersbach. Shortly afterwards, we reach Donaudorf. Here, at the height of the picnic area, we leave the Danube bank and head towards the Ybbs-Persenbeug power plant. We cycle along the large dam road, which later becomes Bahnhofstraße, to Ybbs. A visit to the bicycle museum and a stroll through the old town make the perfect end to today's stage.
