    Your heart will beat faster, not only because of the breathtaking landscape but also because of the physical challenge on this 51 km long route with 631 meters of elevation gain.

    The Nature Treasure Route is especially rewarding for those who like to exert themselves, but also for anyone who prefers to travel by e-bike. The beauty of nature can be fully enjoyed whether your pulse is high or low. Feeling the freedom on two wheels through picturesque valleys and green forests is an unparalleled feeling.

    Author’s recommendation

    Start the route with breakfast in Marbach at Cafe-Konditorei Barbara Braun or end with a visit to the Gasthof zur schönen Wienerin. Strengthen yourself with traditional home cooking and discuss your experiences with the innkeeper and bicycle expert of the region!

    Public transport

    Public – by train to Krummnußbaum, ferry (Hell) to Marbach, or by bus from Ybbs to Marbach.

    Travel with ÖBB to the Pöchlarn train stop - timetable query. From the station, take the bus to Marbach - timetable information.

    Or: take ÖBB to the Krummnußbaum train stop and cross the Danube with the Hell ferry to Marbach.

    We recommend arriving by car, as public transport does not cover a seamless connection.

    Directions

    Marbach is accessible via the A1 West Motorway, Pöchlarn exit. At the exit, take the first exit in the roundabout, after about 1 km turn left towards the Danube bridge. Cross the bridge, then keep left on Wachauerstraße (B3) until you reach Marbach.

    From Krems or Grein, come via Wachauerstraße (B3) to Marbach.

    Parking

    There are sufficient parking spaces on the Danube waterfront in Marbach.
