Information boards provide natural history information on the geology, fauna and flora of this unique section of the Danube. Good footwear is required. A longitudinal ferry runs parallel to the nature trail on the Danube, which you can use to return to the starting point. The nature trail is purely a hiking trail with rope safety. Cycling is absolutely forbidden here. ATTENTION: There is also no pushing facility for cyclists!
