Spiral Ramp of the Klein-Pöchlarn Danube Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The spiral reinforced concrete bike ramp on the Kleinpöchlarn side overcomes the height difference between the bridge and the bike path over a distance of almost 200 meters.

I always find the ramp at the bridge cool, even though I've been there quite a few times now. I've never seen anything like it anywhere else!

Melk Hydroelectric Power Plant

Highlight • Monument

The Melk hydropower plant is also a bridge over the Danube, which can be used on foot or by bike and connects the bike paths on the two banks of the Danube.

It also forms the border between Nibelungengau & Wachau.

The Danube towards Pöchlarn (Nibelungengau) is very wide, deep (clearly> 10m) and calm water.

In the direction of Melk (Wachau), it is much shallower with rough rock battles and some rock banks.
