PREFACE
LINZ.CHANGES,
Danube cruises
This manual is being published on the occasion of the 3rd Danube Tourism
Conference on 5 - 7 December 2012 in Linz. Its motto: “From Myth to Trademark”.
After the very successful development of Danube cruise tourism, the message
coming from Linz will be that a successful future for tourism on the Danube
can no longer be built on the familiar selling points, clichés and backdrops,
but has to exploit the potential of the Danube and the Danube region more
extensively.
This means changing the scheduling of the Danube cruises in order to relieve
congestion at certain locks on certain weekdays. This means new experiences
in order to bring more visitors and return visitors to the Danube. This means
developing new markets in order to gain visitors for the Danube not only from
Europe and the USA, but also from China, India, Russia, Brazil or the Arab
countries.
It also means changes, new and additional offers, not to mention new
marketing cooperation for product development and sales. Linz and Upper
Austria see prospects in the development of Danube tourism, which open up
additional possibilities both for shipping companies and tour operators, but
also even better integrate the infrastructure along the river – from the hotels
through the Blue Danube Airport Linz to the still undiscovered monasteries,
towns and modern attractions, such as the Ars Electronica Center and Linz’s
new opera house.
This manual provides suggestions and organisational help, and should be understood as a first step towards even more intensive cooperation with all partners involved in Danube cruise tourism – from ports through the Linz shipyard
to the services offered by electronic databases for Danube apps, websites etc.
Let’s come together to continue to develop the Danube. We want to be your
source of ideas and partner.

At least 10 points
speak for Linz
1. Linz is central
All moorings are in the city centre. In just a
few minutes you’re in the heart of the city. The
Werbegemeinschaft Donau Oberösterreich is
ready to construct further moorings, if needed.
LINZ, Danube
2. Linz is ideally situated
LINZ, Landstraße
LINZ, Lentos
The city lies half way between Munich and
Vienna, and between Salzburg and Prague.
Linz is easy to reach, whether you’re travelling
by car, rail or plane. Use the Blue Danube
Airport as the gateway for your departures.
9. Linz is a starting point for excursions
The Linzer Landstraße, the main shopping
street in the city centre, is close to the
moorings and offers a good mix of high-quality
shops during your stay.
The proximity to many world heritage sites makes the capital of Upper Austria an excellent
starting point for excursions. Four UNESCO
world heritage sites are within less than 200
km. The old town of Krumau is well worth seeing, as are the impressive world of mountains
and lakes in Hallstatt and the famous wine
growing region of Wachau – just a few of the
highlights you can visit from Linz.
4. Linz is the future
10. Linz is change
The Ars Electronica Center, the “Museum of
the Future”, hosts exciting exhibitions. Digital
art and technology, fascinating architecture
and constantly changing LED façade lighting
make the Ars Electronica Center especially
eye-catching when viewed from onboard,
particularly in the evening.
Highlight: ships can have their name spelt out
individually on the illuminated façade.
Linz symbolises the further development of
the Danube region. Both the modern buildings
on the Danube (Ars Electronica Center,
Lentos Museum of Modern Art, Brucknerhaus)
and the new cultural formats and festivals
(Ars Electronica Festival, the Höhenrausch
and Sinnesrausch exhibition projects) show
cultural developments in the 20th and 21st
centuries.
3. Linz is shopping
Baking “Linzer Torte”
You can follow in the footsteps of Bruckner
by visiting the Brucknerstiege in the stairway
of the Alter Dom (Old Cathedral) with the
only surviving organ played by the musician
and by making an excursion to the Abbey of
St. F
lorian, the final resting place of Anton
Bruckner.
5. Linz is sensual
High tech and high touch – The baroque
Hauptplatz (Main Square), the historical old
town and the best-known cake, the Linzer
Torte, stand for warmth, atmosphere and
everything which international visitors to
Austria and the Danube appreciate.
blue danube airport
LINZ, New opera house
6. Linz is enjoyment
The Linzer Torte is considered the oldest
known cake in the world. The first recipe for
this sweet ambassador dates from 1653.
7. Linz, the capital of music
LINZ, Central station
2013 sees the opening of the Musiktheater
Linz, Europe’s most modern opera house. The
diverse programme of opera, operetta, ballet
and musicals offers cruise passengers a varied
cultural highlight during their trip. Tickets can
already be booked in the afternoon during the
approach to Linz.
8. Linz is musical
The world-famous musician and composer
Anton Bruckner lived and worked in Linz.

on the Danube
The topics presented here are based
on plans of the Linz Tourist Board
for addressing long-term thematic
focuses, new marketing channels and
groups of visitors.
LINZ, Nature
6.
For these themes, Linz Tourism has developed specific
plans, which comprise not only communication
and marketing activities, but also concrete offers
and products that can also be taken up precisely in
connection with Danube cruises.
2013Music The starting point is the opening
of Europe's most modern opera house in Linz. But also
the composer Anton Bruckner and numerous creative
musicians of national significance, who have left their
traces in Linz and Upper Austria. Information about this
can already be found on www.linz2013.at
2014Danube 25 years since the fall of the
Iron Curtain and a century since the outbreak of WW1,
which can be viewed in the overall context of the Danube
Monarchy as a multinational state. In 2014 the attention of many Europeans will be drawn to the Danube.
Consequently, communication, special publications by
the established media and programme formats will be a
focus in Linz.
LINZ, Ars Electronica Center
2015 Still open The expo taking place in Milan
could be a connection point for distant markets. Its main
focus is food. Gourmet trips and dining themes should be
considered in connection with the Danube/Milan expo.
2016 Sport, art and culture In October
2016, Linz will be hosting the Karate World Championships with contenders from more than 100 nations. The
staging of the World Championships and the planning of
artistic and cultural activities in Linz will be developed
around this slogan.

2017Reformation The 500th anniversary of
Luther’s posting of his theses is approaching. This will
be a central theme throughout Europe. The character of
Linz and Upper Austria in particular then became very
protestant. But the effects of the Reformation also led
to confusion, changes and upheavals along the whole of
the Danube. Many reasons to bring your guests closer
to a key period in European history connected with the
Danube.

CroisiEurope
Since the beginnings of CroisiEurope, the Danube has been one of the rivers most
appreciated by our customers. One can only marvel at the beauty of the legends
surrounding it, its unique banks, the magnificent landscapes and the magic of the
beautiful towns and cities that this river flows through. To discover this river is to
enter the heart of the history and culture of Central Europe. Experience the Danube
online
At the Linz Tourist Board we have a variety of tools
for presenting both event data along the Danube
and attractions (points of interest) in a dynamic
way and in different languages.
Tourdata (the tourism data management system of
Upper Austrian Tourism) provides a free interface
with which it is possible to integrate into your
existing website all points of interest, such as
sights, museums, restaurants and cafés throughout
Upper Austria.
You can use our applications as part of your
Internet presence, information on board and also
for your own app.
Wikitude – Your online journey of discovery
New prospects
Mag. Felix König
Managing director of Reisewelt, Linz
Danube cruises from Linz offer new prospects. Linz is the ideal starting point for
one-way tours in the direction of the East or West. A journey by ship from Linz also
contributes to the decongestion of routes. Linz is ideal as a “port of departure” or
“port of arrival”. This includes hotel capacity, one of best equipped shipyards, and
moorings in the direct proximity of the city centre.
Load the free app onto you smartphone, open
the Linz “World” and undertake a journey of
discovery through the city on the Danube.
With the free Tourdata interface, this
application can be
adapted for any place
in Upper Austria or for
the entire route along
the Upper Austrian
Danube.

Myth of the Danube
Dr. Petra Stolba
Managing director of National Tourist Office
A website is currently being created, which
makes the integration of data of interest to
tourists along the Danube usable for cruise
operators too. There are already links to
shipping companies on the website of the
Route of Emperors and Kings.
In the national tourism strategy, the Danube takes equal place with the Alps and
our renowned cities. The Danube stands for cultural and city tourism as well as
for nature, cuisine and enjoyment. For the further development of the Danube for
tourism, the focus is precisely on these themes. The shipping companies and tour
operators for Danube cruises are being supported, the Danube products are being
further developed, so that the myth of the Danube can be used in its full scope and
still further markets tapped into.

Europe’s most modern

Opens on 11 April 2013
Prelude to new
cultural experiences
That’s a theatre. After 2009, which saw
Linz as Europe’s cultural capital, the
opening of the Musiktheater am Volks
garten, the city’s new opera house, will
send waves throughout Europe.
The new opera house, the Bruckner Orchestra Linz and such
famous names as Dennis Russell Davies or Philip Glass make
Linz a lively centre for music and the performing arts. With the
opening of Europe's most modern opera house in April, a whole
new era of cultural enjoyment begins for those interested in the
arts.
With seats for 1,200 people, the new Musiktheater is Austria’s
largest cultural building. The technology developed exclusively
for Linz is unique: this includes a transportable revolving stage
which, with a diameter of 32 metres, is one of the biggest in
the world. This means that several changes of scene can be
prepared at one and the same time. No other theatre in the
world provides this combination of proven technologies.
Threefold anticipation of the new opera house
Visitors will enjoy operas, musicals and ballet performances
even more, thanks to optimal acoustics, an uninterrupted view
and comfortable seating. The higher capacity means that Linz
will be even more attractive than before for international stars
and visiting productions.
And thirdly, the greater available space means the opera
house’s own ensemble will finally be able to stage productions
with a large orchestra, and thus offer the audience the whole
spectrum of operas and musicals.
The world-famous
Bruckner Orchestra
Linz under the
direction of music
director and
conductor Dennis
Russell Davies
ensure perfect
sound.
It is one of Austria’s
most prestigious
symphonic
orchestras.
The expanded dimensions on the stage and in the orchestra
pit will in future make it possible to offer big operas such as
the Ring of the Nibelung, Parsifal or Salome, as well as large
orchestrated works of the 20th century by such composers as
Britten, Berg, Shostakovich or Glass.
Ballets, operettas and musicals will make use of these expanded facilities as well. The new institution will also provide a
framework and possibilities for gala opera evenings with international guest stars.

Brucknerhaus
The genius
Instantly
recognisable
Steel, chrome and a rich cultural heritage. Linz follows in the footsteps of Anton
Bruckner, while encouraging innovation,
experiments and the extraordinary.
The Bruckner Festival honours the musical
genius of Anton Bruckner. The divine spirit of
“God’s composer” has never been more alive
than it is today. Bruckner lived in and around
Linz from 1824 to 1896. The Brucknerhaus,
the Bruckner Festival and the private Bruckner
University (under construction), the first to be
built as a passive construction, still honour
the composer today. And lest we forget, there’s
also the Bruckner Stairway in the Alter Dom
(Old Cathedral). For the very first time, this
memorial site enables visitors to approach the
composer – step by step. Anyone visiting the
Bruckner Stairway is also treading in the paths
which Bruckner once took.
As a result, the Linzer Klangwolke has received global attention.
1979 was the first year when music flowed out of the concert hall
of the Brucknerhaus into the autumn air as an audiovisual spectacular
for up to 100,000 visitors on the banks of the Danube. Another positive
feature of the city: Anyone can access and afford to enjoy culture in Linz.
Elitism is elsewhere!
Soundscape of the city
Almost 40 years ago the opening of the Brucknerhaus attracted a similar
amount of interest as the opening of the new Musiktheater this year.
The timelessly beautiful structure of the Finnish architects Kaija und
Heikki Sirén is set to become the soundscape of the city. In the concert
intervals, the opera house offers a unique view of the green cultural zone
of the Donaupark. Good acoustics and a musical programme ranging from
classical to brass draw around 200,000 culture vultures to the concert
halls of the Brucknerhaus each season.

2 Circular tour through the
historic market town of Engelhartszell
The Danube market town of Engelhartszell was
and remains one of the most significant places
close to the border, thanks to its position on the
Danube traffic and trading route. Next to the
Engelszell monastery can be found the Imperial
Toll Gate, the most important building of the
market town, which collected tolls from 1450.
From your mooring to the Danube Stories

cliff across the river, with its magnificent view of
the Danube. The start of the Danube path – the
second stopping point on the “Engelhartszell
Danube World”, where you’ll discover much
about shipping and the Danube. In the Danube
workshops, creations by local artists are displayed
from May to October. The Danube Exhibition
is located in the Danube Ship. Here numerous
displays and items from the 1994 state
exhibition have found their home.
Continue in the direction of the Danube ferry to
the German-Austrian Jochenstein Danube power

Walks from Aschach; mooring 8 , Ottensheim; mooring 10 and Grein; mooring 18
There’s still a little bit of the
Middle Ages to discover
The charming market town on the Danube
Cycleway lies between Passau and Linz, where
the Danube leaves the confinement of the
“Sauwald” and flows into the open “Eferding
basin”. Aschach was first mentioned in the
year 777 on the foundation of Kremsmünster
monastery and in 1512 it received its own market coat-of-arms from Emperor Maximilian with
the confirmation of its legal status as a market
town.
Thanks to its central position on the Danube with
the Danube crossing (formerly a cable ferry, now
the Danube bridge) the connection to the railway,
Aschach has been an important trading point for
many centuries.
1 Aschach barrier-free culture
trail
With the creation of a barrier-free culture trail
along the Danube promenade, Aschach offers
a further cultural highlight, which is designed
especially for people with disabilities.
The stopping points along the Danube are
located between the parish church and the
Schopperplatz. Each one offers a translation
into sign language via a monitor. Easy-to-read
texts make it possible for people with learning
difficulties to absorb the information.
2 Schopper- und
Fischereimuseum
(approx. 800 m from the mooring upstream) The
museum presents the history of the market town
of Aschach in connection with the building of
wooden rowboats and shipping on the Upper
Danube. The Schoppermuseum explains the
historical craft of wooden rowboat making as
well as the social and cultural background to
this trade. What’s more, the last original “Zehner
Trauner” is on display, a wooden rowboat able to
transport 10 cubic metres of stone. The fishery
museum shows the development of commercial
and leisure fishing in Upper Austria with special
reference to the Upper Danube.

Ottensheim
Grein
Friendly, idyllic Danube market town with
romantic alleys and a distinctive character.
Once an important trading hub on the Danube,
Ottensheim is Austria’s third oldest market
town and has a historical market centre with
buildings from past centuries.
According to an old legend, the inscription on
the “Kindlhaus” states that Emperor Otto IV was
born there in 1208. Historians have never been
able to prove this, but we are nonetheless proud
of “our Kindlhaus”!
On the Calvary hill and at the Donaublick in the
Castle park, you can gain a magnificent view of
the town of Grein and the Danube.
Directly on the Danube, the newly-designed Danube Promenade invites you to walk and while
your time away. Stroll from the “Esperantoplatz”
in the west to the “Halterkreuz” in the east. On
the “Esperantoplatz”, next to the mooring of the
Danube ferry, there is also the sundial of the
physicist, Dr. Werner Riegler, who lived in Grein.
The Halterkreuz at the eastern entrance to the
town recalls the miraculous rescue of a shepherd boy from the floodwaters of the Danube.
The Ottensheim flying bridge
Ottensheim’s own emblem. Founded in 1871
as a transfer company. An idyllic link between
here and there. Every year,
thousands of cyclists cross
back and forth between the
Wilhering and Ottensheim
sides of the Danube.

"Mauthausen goes round"
Much from centuries gone by can still be seen
and discovered today on a tour of Mauthausen.
Mauthausen stands on an old settlement area,
which is verified by findings from the Neolithic
period. The importance of the location increased
over the centuries, because two trade routes
crossed here: the Danube ship route and the salt
and iron route. Pragstein Castle was established
on a little rock island in the Danube by Lasla of
Prague. A solid bridge was constructed over the
Danube for first time in 1505.

remodelling took place in the 17th and 18th
centuries. The altar panels of the famous baroque
painter Johann Martin Schmidt, called Kremser
Schmidt, were also purchased at this time.

Pragstein Castle This was originally a moated
castle, surrounded by the Danube. Access was

The Johannes Nepomuk statue is in the proximity

Burg Clam …where history lives
What's special about Clam Castle is that it is not
only a museum in the conventional sense, but
also a lived-in, fully furnished medieval castle.
Let a guided tour through the one-time knights'
castle transport you to times past: An armoury,
chapel, private residential rooms etc.... and learn
about the family history of 17 generations of the
Counts of Clam, a family which has now been
living in the castle for over 550 years.
Perhaps you will encounter the likeable young
Count Carl Philip Clam on your way through the
castle and chat with him about the mysterious
underground passage or the unique 400-year-old
“Pferdesessel” chair.

Grein, mooring 18
Grein – „Pearl of the Strudengau“
That's what poets call the little old Danube town
of Grein. The citizens of Grein have possessed
the town charter since 1491. In the medieval
period it was known far and wide as the “little
olden town", and today Grein enchants with
nostalgic charm.
The Historical Town Theatre of Grein (1791) is,
as the oldest secular theatre in Austria, without
doubt an attraction of European importance.
Today, the so well-preserved town theatre is
regarded as a gem. Many curiosities from the
past can be seen here. Original seats that had
to be locked/unlocked with a small key; a toilet
that was separated from the auditorium only
by a curtain; a prison from where the prisoners
could watch the performances and were given
food, drinks and tobacco by the audience,
so that they could really enjoy the show; the
Napoleon box and a lot more. Today it offers
167 seats.
The historical town square of Grein
On the town square and along the main street,
we see predominantly two and three storey
farmers' town houses, on extended medieval
parcels of land, which are typical of the city.
The old town hall with the historical town
theatre and the former shipmaster's house with
the Arkadenhof courtyard are especially worth
seeing (incl. history of the Danube town of Grein
and history of shipping on the Danube).
Greinburg Castle
One of the oldest occupied castles in the Habsburg Empire, built 1488 - 1493. It gained its
current appearance under Count
Leonhard Helfrich von Meggau,
who acquired the castle in 1621.
Its stunning Renaissance arcaded
inner courtyard: one of the largest
and most beautiful from the late
Renaissance, a space with Gothic
cellular vaulting.
The Historical Town Theatre of Grein and Town
Museum Bookable all year round in advance

Recent history
Learn from the past
The Upper Austrian Danube
region does not shy away from
the darker side of history.
Because the turning point in recent European
history took place here: in March 1938 Adolf
Hitler, who went to school in Linz, annexed
Austria to National Socialist Germany. In and
around Linz there are numerous traces of recent
history.
Here we promote the “culture of remembering”:
Every day, visitors learn from history.

In the heart of the Danube valley
lie greens of the Donau Freizeitland
Linz-Feldkirchen golf club, one of
the friendliest and most beautiful
clubs in Austria. The appeal of the
18-hole championship course lies
partly in its elaborate construction
and perfect plant care. The broad,
beautiful fairways, well-maintained
greens and well-placed water
hazards, biotopes and few hard
rough zones will warm the heart of
any golfer. That's why international
PGA tournaments and other major
events are held there every year.
All-year-round golfing (depending
on the weather) is made possible
by the mild climate of the Danube
valley, with little precipitation.
The greens of GC “Over the rooftops
of Passau” provide a unique view
of the cathedral and three-river city
of Passau.
This guarantees every player not
only recuperation and relaxation,
but constantly new and beautiful
impressions of the surroundings.
The very natural course presents a
challenge for beginners and more
advanced golfers.

Fabulous hiking experiences
on the Donausteig
The great diversity of the different landscapes along the Bavarian-Upper Austrian Danube
alone would be enough to merit
a cry of “Simply fabulous!”.
Coming from the historical three rivers city of
Passau, the river first wends its way through the
wooded ridges of the upper Danube valley.
The highlight of this stretch is the Schlögener
Schlinge loop. Over millions of years, the
river has truly bitten away in vain at the hard
Schlögener rock. So it has had to find a detour,
changing its direction twice.
You can hike along the following
circular routes, directly from the
moorings:
Donausteig tours downriver
A fabulous joy for the hiker, who is able to view
this spectacle. Next comes the fertile plain of
the Eferding Basin, the vegetable garden of
Upper Austria. Between the Mühlviertel and
the massive back of the Kürnberg Forest, the
Danube makes its way to Linz, the regional
capital, and on into the alluvial forest around
the mouths of the rivers Enns and Traun. The
Machland to the north of the river is again fertile
flat land, before the banks in the Strudengau
again become more rugged, wild and romantic
just before the little town of Grein.

The “Linzer Torte” is c onsidered the oldest
known cake in the world. Its
name was already mentioned
in 1653. However, it will
always remain a mystery who
gave it its name or invented
it. The oldest recipe dates
from a cookery book that is
over 350 years old. “Buech
von allerley Eingemachten
Sachen, also Zuggerwerckh,
Gewürtz, K

allerhandt Obst wie auch
andere guett und nützlich

City landmarks
at the Danube
36
Budapest
The Danube not only characterises landscapes, but also the city silhouettes.
That can be seen particularly
impressively from on board ship.
The traditional city silhouettes like
Regensburg, Passau and especially
imperial Budapest have, in recent
years, been joined by Linz with
new spectacular structures.
The Linz Brucknerhaus by the
Finnish architect Heikki Siren
was built in 1975, while the
Lentos Museum of Modern Art
(by the Z
urich-based office of
architects Weber + Hofer AG)
and the Ars Electronica Center
(by the architectural practice
Treusch a rchitecture from Vienna)
were opened in 2009. The Ars
Electronica Center illuminates
the backdrop of the Danube with
one of the largest LED façades
in Europe. An impressive play
of light from modern glass-rich
architecture make the evenings in
Linz especially an unforgettable
experience. On the vessel you'll
have the best seats. Use your
ship's route planning to present
the Danube to your guests in its
traditional/imperial, Gothic and
baroque aspects, as well as in its
modern and luminous aspects in
Linz.

REGENSBURG
PASSAU
Discover the traces of
emperors and kings
LINZ
There are countless transport routes in Europe, but
barely any is as young and age-old, and at once so
rich in history and contemporary as the route along or
on the Danube, from Regensburg to Budapest.
This route along the Danube is a part of European history and tradition. The
traces of emperors and kings lead us through medieval cities, to m
onasteries,
castles and magnificent residences. Travelling by ship on the venerable
Danube, then as today, is doubtless the most princely way of getting around
if you want to discover the Route of Emperors and Kings.
The prosperity and culture of the people who live in this beautiful fairytale landscape are present everywhere and reflected in the unique art
treasures, majestic buildings and sophisticated, diverse cultural events
along the D
anube from Regensburg to Straubing, Passau, Linz, Vienna and
on to B
udapest. The Route of Emperors and Kings – a majestic travelling
experience on the trail of European culture and history. Fascinating natural
landscapes, culinary delights, wonderful hospitality and marvellous comfort.

Linz – Lentia
Late Celtic and Roman remains show that from the 50s of 1 AD, the Romans
exercised their influence right through to the Danube. In late antiquity in the
4th and 5th centuries, a castle on the Römerberg protected the border and
the civilian populace. Roman cemeteries can frequently be found along the
important Roman main roads, which crossed here. Remains and exhibitions
can be seen in the Genesis city museum and in the Upper Austrian Castle
Museum.

The Linz shipyard
decades of competence
For decades, the ÖSWAG has
meant “the shipyard” to the
people of Linz.
The main focus of the shipyard is the carrying
out of ship repairs, installation of new engines,
modification and construction of passenger ships,
cargo ships and tankers. The latest new vessels
(passenger ships) have been supplied to the
Achsensee, Lake Constance, the Bielersee and the
Danube.
Two hopper barges and a dredger pontoon for the
AHP, a pumping station for the ÖMV, a boat for
the police in Vienna, a prototype of an official boat
for the shipping inspectorate, and the swimming
whirlpool for the Weisse Rössl hotel were further
highlights of the last years.
The potential of the shipyard lies in its location
directly on the Danube, in its employees, and
in the good infrastructure in combination with
the machine pool of ÖSWAG Maschinenbau.
The Ö
SWAG shipyard is the only one in Austria
for large vessels and can almost cover all the
requirements of inland navigation. The Linz
shipyard serves the shipping companies as a
1.service support point along the Danube and as a
winter harbour. It can respond rapidly and flexibly
by providing an efficient slipway, the halls, and the
available berths. Almost all services are offered
which are needed for the smooth operation of
ships. Mobile squads ensure technical support
along the Danube and also in the lake districts of
Austria, Switzerland and Germany.
The infrastructure (slipway length = 270 m, hall,
cranes) enable 2 ships with a length of 130 m to
be brought to shore simultaneously. Vessel widths
of up to 20 m are possible. Every year, approx.
130 to 160 vessels of different types and sizes
are taken out of the water and maintained on
the slipway. The customers from neighbouring
countries come from the Rhine, Main and Danube
as well as from the Bavarian, Swiss and Austrian
lake regions.

Enns – Ennshafen, mooring Nr. 16
The Ennshafen harbour, some 30 km from
Linz, is a modern service centre for the
loading business and lies at the Enns-Danube
confluence. The ships' mooring is located
directly in the harbour and has
a good ship infrastructure with
direct bus access. A Danube
ferry connects Enns with
Mauthausen.
The Ennshafen lies not far
(approx. 4 km) from the
small town of Enns, a “little
historical town” with a long
history. The medieval old town
and the town tower as well as
numerous historic buildings
and excavations bear witness
to this. The “Lauriacum”
museum, which focuses on
the Roman period, possesses
one of the most significant
40
collections of Roman artefacts in Austria –
Prehistory, town history, sacred art, folklore and
art collection.
Moorings for every kind of passenger cabin

bus or car up to the landing stage possible.

Space enough
for the car
To make it easier to find a parking space, a parking
guidance system has been introduced. The urban area
of Linz is divided into “Urfahr” (GREEN), “Zentrum
Ost” (RED) and “Zentrum West” (YELLOW) zones.
Each of the three zones has been
marked with a characteristic colour,
which is also used on the information board signage. Lorry drivers are
thus directed quickly and without
detours to garages in which the
vehicle can be parked with no
time limit. Furthermore, there are
parking spaces in direct proximity
to tram and bus stops.

Donausteig book of legends
Since 2010, the Donausteig, a 23-stage idyllic
hiking trail, has passed through the Upper
Austrian hill country to the right and left of
the Danube. Defiant castles and storied ruins
are perched above the Nibelungen river like
sentinels. Tranquil villages, proud farms and
time-honoured monasteries tempt you to linger.
The common thread of the hiking trail are the
legends surrounding the Danube: at 125 resting
points they are related and shown – and the
most beautiful Donausteig legends can now
be read about in this book. Helmut Wittmann
relates them with his usual lively wit and humour – and Jakob Kirchmayr has designed the
illustrations with his customary skill and a lot of
feeling for the essence of the tales.
