Aschach an der Donau is one of those places that you visit and immediately feel like you are in a postcard. It is one of the oldest and most charming market towns in Upper Austria (Eferding district) and is located directly on the great Danube loop. For centuries, Aschach was an important hub for shipping and trade. This is still reflected in the townscape today. The row of houses directly on the Danube promenade largely dates from the 16th century (Renaissance and Baroque). The facades are magnificently restored and a popular photo motif.

From the "Schlögener Blick" viewpoint you have a spectacular panoramic view of the loop. You can reach the viewpoint via hiking trails and it is particularly worthwhile at sunset or in the golden hour because the landscape is particularly impressive then.

Where the Danube turns twice Even nature does not always reach its destination by taking a straight path. An impressive example of this is the Danube loop near Schlögen. The river, squeezed between the banks of the "Donauleiten" that are characteristic of the Upper Danube Valley, gives way to the granite of the Bohemian Massif at this point. It changes direction twice, forming two intertwined headlands. This natural wonder is really visible from above. From the Schlögen viewpoint, which romantic landscape lovers can reach in a short hike from Schlögen. The ships that sail through the double bend look like toys from here. The pale blue ribbon of the river winds like a ribbon through the green, wooded ridges. A place to linger and enjoy.
