Today is your first Cycling Day, about 60 km from Untermühl.
If you want to ride without great traffic, then you select the right foot in Passau-shore, partly off the road, sometimes on a bike path separate from the road. Generally, you stay at the hotel at Passau, where you can immediately go on the right bank. Following the signs to get to the former border crossing "Achleiten. The Nibelungen-road Passau - Linz runs here quite level, and after about 400 m branches already left a meadow, you passes the Faberhof. Part of the forest and over meadows to reach the Faberhof then first, then with a narrow Krämpelstein. Again and again a few meters of forest and meadow trails biking, you can reach box, a small church Schiffer directly the Danube. The church stands on a branch in mounds of earth, probably a sign that there has been more flooding.
On the left, opposite shore we see the upper cell, (6,500 inhabitants), a pretty market town with a magnificent castle and good food directly on the Danube, near the pier with the twin-towered Baroque church on the beautiful, elongated town square, a watchable commercial center of the Bishops of Passau. Interesting in the upper cell is the baroque castle, now a porcelain museum of the Bavarian National Museum in Munich. Both on the left bank, a very frequented road (very nice) and ride on the right bank (cycle lanes, some road), one of the upper cell by Jochen Stein, (left bank). Here is one of the largest buildings in the Danube. A hydroelectric power station with dam with boat lock. On the right bank, you will cycle from the power plant right next to the village Engelhartszell (1,500 inhabitants), whose main attraction is the Austria is the only Trappist monastery that was founded by Passau's bishops. The remaining route now requires the crossing of the Danube on the Mühlviertel-shore, either you go back to the Danube ferry, about 250 feet, or further back to the weir, there is crossing the free for cyclists, but also with a lifting work of his own wheel of approximately . combined 30 steps. This will take you on a beautiful riverside path, past Kramesau, Niederranna and Au to Au / Schlögen.

ends in Au / Schlögen the Danube cycle path on the left bank. You must translate the ferry. There are two ferries that during all the day commuting back and forth, and so there is no problem to come to the right bank. The second way is a ferryman Bauer, who has been the opening of the Danube cycle path as a ferryman here. On the right bank just a few meters upstream from a very good hotel with nice local restaurant. Now, ride first on a low traffic road to Inzell (small inn at the Danube river) and then on to the busy Treppelweg Koblinger, which is linked by ferry to the opposite site Obermühl. Obermühl to be mentioned that we probably niergendwo can dine at the Danube so good and cheap, as here. If you stay in Untermühl, it is best to stay on the left bank. This path is also the sunnier and less traveled.
