Turn off the main path at this hiking parking lot and follow the hiking trail to Mitterbachel: it's worth it, many exotic trees are picturesquely planted there around two small forest ponds. Always worth a detour..

The cycle path along the Abens near Sittling (a district of Neustadt an der Donau) is a real treat for pleasure cyclists who like it flat and close to nature. You ride through an idyllic meadow landscape. As the area around Sittling and the nearby Bad Gögging is an important refuge for birds, you can often observe storks and herons.

I recommend stopping off for an ice cream or coffee at the Dolce Vita ice cream parlor in Neustadt an der Donau.

Klenze Park is worth a stop. Across the street, at the Cavalier Dalwigk monument, cannons were once cast. Today, you can enjoy the view of the Danube with a cool drink in the summer lounge. Be sure to check the opening hours.
