Grein an der Donau, often called the “Pearl of the Strudengau,” is one of the most charming and culturally significant stops on the Austrian Danube Cycle Path. It marks the transition from the flat Machland into the narrower, wooded valley of the Strudengau. Grein has a density of sights unusual for a small town: Schloss Greinburg: It majestically towers over the Danube and is considered the oldest residential castle in Austria. Particularly worth seeing are the arcaded courtyard and the “Sala Terrena” (a mosaic room decorated with Danube pebbles). Historisches Stadttheater: Built in 1791, it is the oldest still-playable civic theater in Austria. A curiosity there is the “Sperrsitze” (foldable seats that were previously locked with a padlock) and the “stille Örtchen” (the quiet little place) with a direct view of the stage. OÖ Schifffahrtsmuseum: Housed in the castle, it offers exciting insights into the time when the Danube was still navigated by rowing and sailing ships.
