The Danube Resonance Path makes the healthy diversity of the elements world there deeper experienced. On the large DANUBE RESONANCE PATH round one can immerse in the power of the elements over 12.8 kilometers and in 4.5 hours of pure walking time. The large round follows the Danube path round and the signage of the "4/4 view round." On the large round through panoramas, forests, and hill meadows, one walks through the 4 elements WATER, AIR, FIRE, and EARTH. Each element is prepared for guests at 3 places plus an element exercise device with resting area: They tell of their qualities – generally and especially from the region! And they show you special resonance exercises so you can directly connect with each element and let yourself be strengthened. The starting place board is located at Hotel Wesenufer. Then you follow first the element water into the nature reserve "Small Kösslbach Valley." At the resonance place "Forest-Air-Stairs" water passes into the element air. Shortly before the rock view, you enter the element fire, which accompanies the hikers over the 4/4 view to Aichberg, where at the resonance place "Earth time travel," the last element earth takes over. In total, **12 element resonance places** await visitors: - Water: W1 | Danube waves, W2 | Kösslbach valley greeting, W3 | Water rocks - Fire: F1 | Fire start, F2 | 4/4 view, F3 | Fire spiral - Air: L1 | Forest-Air-Stairs, L2 | Good-Air Forest rocks, L3 | Sky portal - Earth: E1 | Earth time travel, E2 | Rock encounter, E3 | Power root **Per element** there is also a **movement place**: - The WATER element movement place invites you to flowing movements - The AIR element movement place invites you to lightness - The FIRE element movement place invites you to dynamism - The EARTH element movement place invites you to feel your primal power At the start or at the finale of the route, the **4 group element places** await you at Hotel Wesenufer: - WATER – WISHES at the stone jetty of the Wesenufer natural beach - AIR – TALENTS in a circle around the Wesenufer middle tree in the hotel courtyard - FIRE – ALLEY at the Danube entrance to the car park - EARTH – QUESTION-ANSWER LINES between or in front of the trees on the shore The round also offers new perspectives when walked in the opposite direction. **SPIRITUAL HIKING ON THE DANUBE PATH:** From Waldkirchen you look over the four quarters of Upper Austria, across green hills and blooming meadows into the Danube valley. A place to let the intense green affect you. Holy green power, break the concrete in our heads, in our country! (Kurt Marti) **GREEN IS THE COLOR OF HOPE.** "Again and again, St. Hildegard of Bingen (mystic) speaks of green power. Green is a mixture of yellow – the color of the sun, and blue – the color of water. Green arises when a relationship between water and light, between heaven and earth exists. Green is the color of "heart power" and of the germ and creative power, which unfolds from the darkness of the earth every spring as life in beautiful nuances. **While hiking on the 4/4 round I let the healing "green power" affect me:** "If you want to regain strength: look into the green" (St. Hildegard) and she also speaks of "greening of the soul." • Observe the many green tones (blue-green, light lime green, red green, light / dark green, brown-green...) and let them affect you, enjoy the green power. **Refreshment possibilities:** - **4/Quarter Stub'n**, Hundorf 7, 4085 Hundorf, Tel.: +43 660 8153773‬, Mon, Tue, Wed closed - Hostess z'Atzersdorf, (Four Quarters View) Atzersdorf 2, Tel.: +43 664 93109805, Mon, Tue closed; open for groups by appointment - Guesthouse Perndorfer, (Schlögener View) Waldkirchen, Tel.: +43 7718 7270, Wed closed - Inn Zum Schiffmeister, Waldkirchen/Wesenufer, Tel.: +43 7718 7220, Thu closed, 8 beds **Directions:** The path leads northwest in the direction of "Kagerer Jagasteig" to the underpass under the federal road. After this, it turns left onto a farm road. After the last farm house, continue on a field path, which partly also leads through the forest and finally leads into the small Kösslbach valley (nature reserve since 1996). In the V-shaped erosion valley, the path then follows a forest road steadily uphill. After a left turn, the path branches off steeply right into the forest from the forest road. After some time, one then reaches a section with rock debris. After this impressive section, the path leads out of the forest across a meadow path and reaches a farm. One follows the road towards Atzersdorf and passes the Four Quarters View, which invites you to rest. From Atzersdorf, the path leads on the road to Aichberg, where you keep left and go down to the forest via a meadow path. The path then leads relatively level through the forest to Waldkirchen. Once there, it turns sharply left before reaching the town center. From there, you follow the path through the forest on the old Wesener district road. You pass the "Bräukapelle." You reach the road again and eventually Wesenufer. **Tip:** - **Four Quarters View** From Waldkirchen (535 m above sea level) you look out over the four quarters of the state of Upper Austria, across green hills and blooming meadows down into the Danube valley. - Discovery journeys with a delightful stopover!

Es ist eine gewachsene Kulturlandschaft mit einem Mosaik aus landwirtschaftlichen Nutzflächen und unterschiedlicher Bewaldungsintensität. Durch Dörfer, Weiler und viele Siedlungssplitter wird der ländliche Charakter des Sauwaldes verstärkt. Von weitem schon erkennt man sie durch die hohen Spitzen ihrer Kirchtürme. Viele historische Kulturlandschaftselemente lassen sich entdecken. Beispiele dafür sind Gattersäulen, Lesesteinhaufen und Schwöllen (kleine Teiche). Mit den weitgehend naturnah erhalten gebliebenen Bachläufen, die eine Kostbarkeit für die Region darstellen, ergibt sich ein recht harmonisches Landschaftsbild.

The Danube bridge in Niederranna, which leads into the Mühlviertel, is located in the immediate vicinity. Numerous excursion options open up impressive views of a varied landscape of green hills, wooded slopes, colorful meadows and expansive cornfields. Particularly worth seeing is the "Vier-Viertelblick", which offers a panoramic view of all four Upper Austrian quarters. Hikes through the "Kößlbachtal" nature reserve become more attractive with every step, as the view is directed towards the foaming waters of the Kößlbach stream. The newly opened Danube Resonance Trail Waldkirchen-Wesenufer invites you to experience exercises that promote harmony with the elements, nature and your own perception. On the opposite bank of the Danube, the Outdoor Escapes offer exciting adventures to discover the surroundings in an entertaining and varied way. Wesenufer itself is also an ideal starting point for e-bike tours into the Danube hinterland. Well-marked routes such as the R1.03 Donauengtal-Runde and the R1.04 Donauschlingen-Runde invite you to actively explore the region. ![Bräukapelle](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/416188/D10430B70F0FE5864606F144FBFF66E944AAAE49B124D145889F608797E6A086/braeukapelle.jpg "Bräukapelle") Startplatz Wesenufer Info: TOKU - Tourismus und Kultur im Donautal Waldkirchen-Wesenufer Tel.: +43 (0) 77 18 / 72 55-11 od. -12 Arzt, Tel.: +43(0) 77 18 / 75 70 Rotes Kreuz, Notruf: 144 Polizei, Notruf: 133 Öffentl. WC in Waldkirchen (Gemeindeamt) in Wesenufer (Gasthaus zum Schiffsmeister) **Tal des kleinen Kößlbaches – Naturschutzgebiet:** Das 1996 zum Naturschutzgebiet erklärte Tal nimmt im Naturraum zwischen Passau und Schlögen eine besondere Stellung ein. Der Bach hat sich ein V-förmiges Erosionstal geschaffen, welches sich mit seinen steilen Hängen, Felskanten und naturnahen Wäldern, auf den Wegen rund um das Gebiet erwandern und erleben lässt. **Bräukapelle:** Zur Bräukapelle sind in letzter Zeit immer häufiger Menschen gepilgert, denn der Wasserquelle, welche sich in der Kapelle befindet, wurde in vergangen Zeiten eine heilende Wirkung zugesprochen. **Tipp** An der vorbei fließenden Donau kann man sich erholen und vom Alltag Abstand nehmen. Hier, am Donauufer, tun sich viele Möglichkeiten zur Freizeitgestaltung auf. Die ortsnahe Donaubrücke ermöglicht Ausflüge in das Mühlviertel. **Vierviertelblick** Von Waldkirchen (535 m Seehöhe) blickt man in die vier Viertel des Landes Oberösterreich, über grüne Hügel und blühende Wiesen hinab ins Donautal. In Schloss Marsbach, am gegenüberliegenden Donauufer, wurde früher das Hochgericht gehalten. Die Donau-Sage ["Zum Glück - die Braut!"](http://www.donauregion.at/detail/article/zum-glueck-die-braut.html) erzählt davon, wie eine Braut einen Verurteilten in letzter Sekunde vor dem Tod retten konnte.
