Gasthof in der Exlau

The Exlau lies in one of the most scenic sections of the Danube region. Surrounded by high, wooded and stony slopes, into which the Danube has dug its stony bed over thousands of years, the Exlau is not without reason called the "Upper Wachau".

The name has appeared in the vernacular for many centuries. At that time still known as "Öxlau" or "Ochsenau", the present name Exlau has been found in the history of the municipality of Kirchberg ob der Donau since 1806.

The Exlau inn is located in the Mühlviertel (Upper Austria) and is situated on the left bank of the Danube in the middle of the "Natura 2000" nature reserve.

It is 47 kilometres from Passau or Linz to the Exlau. For cyclists, it is ideal to stop at our hotel after a day's ride and spend a well-deserved evening break or a relaxing night in our tastefully furnished rooms.

Our inn is located directly on the Danube Cycle Path on the left bank of the Danube and the distance from Passau to Exlau is 47 kilometres. It is ideal for cyclists to stop at our inn after a day's ride and enjoy a well-deserved evening break.

The Danube Cycle Path is probably known to every cyclist. It runs 2800 kilometres from the source of the Danube to its mouth in the Black Sea. One of the most popular sections is the one from Passau via the Exlau to Linz. We are on one of the busiest cycle routes in Europe with the ideal infrastructure for cyclists. A fascinating and varied alternation of natural wonders, imposing monuments and impressive cities will accompany you on your tour along the Danube river, which, like an energising spring, will recharge your energy reserves during your well-deserved holiday.

Our region offers cyclists of all abilities and ages varied experiences in the midst of a unique landscape. Cycling on the Danube is sport, relaxation, nature and cultural enjoyment all in one.
