When we arrived in the Au in the morning, the snowdrops were still asleep 😌 They only opened their heads with the first rays of sunshine ☀️ An incredible natural spectacle with a sea of snowdrops and wild garlic, now spring can begin 🌼

In the Donau Auen / Orth a.d Donau National Park, the entire forest floor is in bloom. Snowdrops without end and the wild garlic is already high. Since the sun also accompanied us, it was a wonderful spring-like tour.

Today with my hiking group a hike in the Donauauen near Orth an der Donau. We were a total of 7 hikers with different abilities. Nobody was overwhelmed, everyone was enthusiastic about the nature experience. By the time we had a somewhat late but delicious lunch at Gasthaus Binder, all tiredness was forgotten.

Unfortunately the sun didn't make it out of the fog at Orth today.
There are some new exhibition rooms in the castle. The renovated Renaissance staircase is also accessible.
In the tower, accessible via the outside staircase, there is an exhibition about Crown Prince Rudolf.
It is very dry in the Au. Almost all oxbow lakes are dry.
