Thus, they only indicate rough changes of direction or clarify ambiguous crossing situations. In the intermediate areas, markings in the form of the Donausteig logo or simplified color markings provide orientation. ### Rest and panorama places Donausteig also means **slowing down and enjoying**! To help you do this, we have set up our own **rest and panorama spots** at selected points. On information boards you will find interesting facts about the tour, the location and Donausteig legends. At panorama boards you can enjoy fabulously beautiful views of the Danube region. Donausteig furniture invites you to linger. ### Symbolism The Donausteig logo is the recurring symbol of the Donausteig. The blue symbolizes the water of the Danube, the green the surrounding landscape. Both halves are connected by a white double loop in the shape of the famous "Schlögener Donauschlinge" - the emblem of the Donausteig. ### The following photo gallery can be navigated with the arrow keys (left, right). © Open copyright © Donausteig Markierung © WGD Donau Oberösterreich Tourismus GmbH/Kranzmayr Close copyright [ ![Donausteig Markierung © WGD Donau Oberösterreich Tourismus GmbH/Kranzmayr](https://www.donauregion.at/fileadmin/_processed_/8/c/csm_Donausteig_Markierung_WGD_Kranzmayr_89d044c9a8.jpg "Donausteig Markierung © WGD Donau Oberösterreich Tourismus GmbH/Kranzmayr") ](https://www.donauregion.at/fileadmin//user_upload/danube/Wandern/Donausteig_Markierung_WGD_Kranzmayr.jpg "Donausteig Markierung © WGD Donau Oberösterreich Tourismus GmbH/Kranzmayr") © Open copyright © Donausteig - Steiner Felsen © WGD Donau Oberösterreich Tourismus GmbH/Hochhauser Close copyright [ ![Donausteig - Steiner Felsen © WGD Donau Oberösterreich Tourismus GmbH/Hochhauser](https://www.donauregion.at/fileadmin/_processed_/a/4/csm_Steiner_Felsen_WGD_Tourismus_GmbH_Hochhauser75438_eeb1206fce.jpg "Donausteig - Steiner Felsen © WGD Donau Oberösterreich Tourismus GmbH/Hochhauser") ](https://www.donauregion.at/fileadmin//user_upload/danube/Wandern/Steiner_Felsen_WGD_Tourismus_GmbH_Hochhauser75438.jpg "Donausteig - Steiner Felsen © WGD Donau Oberösterreich Tourismus GmbH/Hochhauser") © Open copyright © Manuel Andrack am Donausteig © WGD Donau Oberösterreich Tourismus GmbH/Weissenbrunner Close copyright [ ![Manuel Andrack am Donausteig © WGD Donau Oberösterreich Tourismus GmbH/Weissenbrunner](https://www.donauregion.at/fileadmin/_processed_/d/7/csm_Manuel_Andrack_am_Donausteig5_Foto_DonauO%C3%96_Weissenbrunner_a3cbc6494b.jpg "Manuel Andrack am Donausteig © WGD Donau Oberösterreich Tourismus GmbH/Weissenbrunner") ](https://www.donauregion.at/fileadmin//user_upload/danube/Wandern/Allgemein/Manuel_Andrack_am_Donausteig5_Foto_DonauOÖ_Weissenbrunner.jpg "Manuel Andrack am Donausteig © WGD Donau Oberösterreich Tourismus GmbH/Weissenbrunner") [ previous slide ](#ttgDetailSiteCarousel "back") [ next slide ](#ttgDetailSiteCarousel "forward") ### Website and tour descriptions The website of the Donausteig is a central part of its orientation system.
