According to the historian Lamprecht, the eleven pillars date back to the year 1310 when they were erected on granite blocks on the river banks.

The 1899 floods tore away the wooden construction.

After WWII, the 250m long bridge was rebuilt with an iron concrete construction.

EUROPE'S 1ST BREWERY SHIP

One ship, one beer, one gunner

With fourteen breweries, Schärding was once a stronghold of the art of brewing in the Innviertel for a long time. The pretty baroque town also had the thirsty Inn boatmen to thank for this. A resourceful captain and passionate beer lover is continuing this tradition and bringing beer brewing directly to the Inn. Europe's first brewery ship has been underway since the beginning of 2016.

Captain Manfred Schaurecker found a handful of allies - all beer enthusiasts - and together with them began to painstakingly learn what other Innviertler had long since taught him: the art of brewing. So it's a good thing that he uses his ships to connect what the Inn seems to separate: the Innviertel and Bavaria.

The effort has paid off and steam is soon rising from the chimney of the Salzfürstenschiff. Not only from the engine room, but also from the copper boiler of the new Innviertel microbrewery. It had to be copper, because the captain doesn't like modern stainless steel systems in his house or on his ship. He is a traditionalist.

The museum-like character does not end with the brewing technology. Helga Stiegler, the good soul of the floating pub, is a beer lover herself and has created a cozy interior. She is the one who likes to experiment and ensures that no two brews are the same. Her name alone stands for the history of cozy beer bliss in Schärding. Ever since the French bombarded the town with cannons from the Bavarian side of the Inn in 1809, the inn, which its ancestors ran in Wieningerstraße until 1942, was known as "Zur Kanone". It is almost logical that the floating brewery is called "Kanonenbräu".

The ship's brewery could produce 300 bottles of beer every day. Nevertheless, the beer will remain a rarity, as Captain Schaureckers' ship will continue to ferry its guests back and forth along the Inn between Schärding and Passau. Anyone who wants to can now brew their own authentic beer during the round trip under expert guidance and taste the "powder keg beer" right away. In addition to the matching dishes, the galley menu also offers fifteen other beer specialties from the Innviertel beer region.

The cozy and beautiful guest garden is located directly on the Danube.

We spoil you with refreshing drinks, a good snack, coffee and homemade cakes as well as delicious ice cream.

In addition to regional cuisine for our guests, we are happy to host your birthday party, company celebration, etc.

We can be reached under the telephone number 0664-73493393.

The cozy and beautiful guest garden is located directly on the right bank of the Danube opposite the village of Obermühl. You will find the house exactly at river kilometer 2177.4 km. The cycle path from Passau to Vienna leads right past.

The village of Inzell is 5 km up the Danube and the Schlögener Schlinge is 8 km up the Danube. The village of Kobling is located in the municipality of Haibach ob der Donau. The village of Haibach is located in the upper part of the Danube valley after an ascent of around 4 km.

Our farm is located directly on the Danube Cycle Path and is therefore a wonderful rest stop or starting point for a bike tour.

Snack station, vacation on the farm

For more than 100 years, this house has been a popular restaurant. Seasonal products like fish, wild garlic, asparagus, lamb, pasta as well as game and steak weeks make for a varied and tasty offer.

We spoil you in a cozy atmosphere with the finest homemade pastries and coffee specialties. Exquisite chocolates and, in summer, over 60 varieties of delicious confectionery ice cream for Italian ice cream enjoyment in our Promenade Garden. Konditorei Weltzer is a sweet meeting place to chat and enjoy.

Our cosy country inn on the Danube cycle path with attached guesthouse offers regional cuisine with vegetables and products from our own farm, among others, as well as fish from local waters and game from the surrounding forests.

Whether for lunch or dinner, for a snack or coffee and cake, at Landgasthof Dieplinger, the innkeeper in the Brandstatt, our guests can always look forward to hearty, freshly cooked home-style cooking and tempting pastries. Chef Paula Langmayr, who is one of the first trained cider sommeliers in Upper Austria, always takes care of the numerous delicacies and treats for the palate from our kitchen. Enjoy your time in our house or chestnut guest garden and look out over the beautiful Danube.
Daughter Andrea, as a trained tourism manager, looks after the well-being of our guests. We are also happy to offer one of our other specialities - the home-distilled, internationally award-winning noble brandies from our chef Karl Langmayr.

Situated in the Danube valley of the Eferding basin, our country inn with its chestnut garden, cycling station, motorboat moorings and children's playground invites you to take a holiday. We also make it possible for you to celebrate festivities in relaxing surroundings and to hold seminars and training courses.

This historic country inn, which was first mentioned in a document in 1635 as the "Wirt an der Brücke", has been in family ownership for more than 100 years.
Since 1986, we, Paula and Karl Langmayr, with the support of our daughter Andrea and our three sons Christian, Benedikt and Valentin, have been running the country inn with the associated farm with heart and passion. With attention to detail and charming hospitality, we have managed to make both culinary gourmets and regulars feel at home in the parental inn.

We cordially invite you to join us at Landgasthof Dieplinger and look forward to welcoming and hosting you.

Our home-style cuisine offers Austrian classics as well as a varied seasonal menu. The large guest garden terrace offers a beautiful view of the Inn River and the neighbouring German Castle Neuburg. The historic Mariensäule (Mary's Column), from which our name Landhotel Mariensäule derives, is also directly in view.

Would you like to go on a short cycling or hiking tour? Then you can cross the Inn directly over the Mariensteg (foot and cycle path bridge) and immediately start your tour from the German or Austrian side.

SEE. SMELL. TASTE. FEEL.

This is exactly what you can do in our entire restaurant.

Take a seat at one of the 24 seats in the restaurant area and enjoy the view of the open kitchen.

You are sure to experience an unforgettable evening at our chef's table - exclusively for 2 people only, it is located right next to the kitchen! Here you can sit slightly elevated next to each other and watch the chefs live as they prepare and serve the dishes, so to speak "enjoyment first row foot-free"!

You have something to celebrate or simply want to be undisturbed? Our Séparée offers the perfect opportunity. A private setting for up to 12 people at a long table. Ideal for small groups, celebrations or meetings! 
 
Without a menu - but with a lot of feeling. You won't find a menu here. Instead, we enquire about intolerances and specialities when you make your reservation. We use this information and the seasonally available products to create your personal menu.

We cook what nature and the season have to offer. What we get from the region, we take from the region. However, we are not closed to influences from all over the world. Many of the herbs and plants we use for our dishes come from our own garden. We collect nettles, spruce tops and elder from secluded places in nature. If something is not available in the appropriate quality, there is an alternative. We refuse to use products that do not meet our quality standards The food is the star and is always our focus. Enjoyment can be that simple!
  
Of course, an excellent menu must be accompanied by finely coordinated drinks. But it doesn't always have to be wine. Our non-alcoholic beverage accompaniment is in no way inferior. In addition to our extensive range of wines, we also serve you non-alcoholic drinks that we have painstakingly crafted to accompany your meal.
 
Lukkas Kienbauer's gastronomic empire began in March 2016 when he opened his first restaurant, "Lukas Restaurant", on Unterer Stadtplatz in Schärding. Shortly afterwards, in summer 2018, the 4-toque chef expanded his culinary world with "Lukas Steak" on Oberer Stadtplatz and in spring 2021, the opening of his Japanese-inspired restaurant "Lukas Izakaya" was just around the corner. That's how quickly the Schärdinger had expanded his gastronomic world to 3 restaurants in his younger years.

Reservations for the restaurant, which has a limited capacity of 24 seats, can be made on 0664/3413285 or by email to: lukas@lukas-restaurant.at

For a long time now, Hotel Forstinger has wanted to offer its exclusive breakfast service not only to hotel guests. Now the time has finally come: a long-awaited wish has been realised with the Maga's Deli breakfast café and Hotel Forstinger is opening its wonderfully beautiful breakfast room to non-hotel guests as well. From now on, everyone can enjoy the regional organic breakfast.

With the conversion of the former breakfast room, a modern and unique breakfast café has now been created that does not yet exist in Schärding. The new Maga's Deli is located in the heart of Schärding on the 1st floor of Hotel Forstinger, with a quiet location overlooking the garden. In summer, the glass doors of the light-flooded winter garden are opened to let in the warming rays of the sun and the cheerful chirping of birds. What better way to start the day?

The Mariensteg, which was opened in September 2006, is intended to serve as an additional pathfinder for encounters and connections between the people "drent" and "herent" and the citizens of an entire region, and to intensify and increase the existing ties that have grown over the centuries. The asymmetrical suspension cable bridge has a length of 145 metres and spans the Inn at a maximum height of 8 metres. The total weight is only

In 1892, archaeological finds from the Roman legionary camp of Lauriacum near Enns and its surroundings prompted a group of interested people to establish a museum association for Enns and the surrounding area. The owner of Ennsegg Castle provided a room in the castle's Meierhof for the museum. In 1898, the association's own collection was combined with the town history collection in the Old Town Hall and the Fürstenberg private collection. In the course of this, the association received permission to set up its collection in the old council chamber.

This laid the foundation stone for what would later become the Lauriacum Museum. After a lengthy period of emergency accommodation due to bombing and the great shortage of space in the post-war period, it was not until 1964 and 1967 that the exhibits were reinstalled in the museum. One of the most important Roman collections in Austria presents the diversity of Roman culture at the most important military base on the Danube Limes in the province of Noricum. The monumental building inscription of the Lauriacum legionary camp, the military equipment, the funerary monuments, the numerous testimonies to everyday Roman life, the unique ceiling fresco and a fragment of late antique fabric are particularly noteworthy among the numerous exhibits. Aspects of the medieval and modern history of Enns are conveyed by old views, historical weapons, the council chamber with its magnificent paintings and the room with sacred art objects.

In 1988, the Lauriacum Museum was awarded the Austrian Museum Prize and has been awarded the Austrian Museum Seal of Quality. Extensive renovation work has been carried out since fall 2011 in view of the "800 Years of the Enns Charter" anniversary.

Gezähmter Fluss...    
Bei Aschach erreicht die Donau nach ihrem Weg durch die Schlucht das Eferdinger Becken. Ursprünglich war die Donau ein Fluss mit vielen, weit reichenden Verzweigungen. Heute ist sie durch Regulierungen und Kraftwerksbau in ein enges Bett gezwängt, begrenzt von Uferbegleitdämmen. Die typischen Schotterinseln und Flachwasserzonen fehlen. Renaturierungsprojekte sollen hier Abhilfe schaffen und diese wertvollen Lebensräume wiederherstellen. Von Bedeutung sind auch naturnahe Stillgewässer, die in Form von Altarmen, Weihern und Tümpeln als Reste der ehemaligen Donaulandschaft zurückgeblieben sind. Teilweise beherbergen sie seltene Pflanzenarten wie z.B. die Wasserfeder.

In Aschach geschah es, dass der berühmt-berüchtigte Dr. Johann Faust, der ja bekanntlich seine Seele dem Teufel verschrieben hatte, den Leibhaftigen etwas zu sehr reizte. Was dann mit Dr. Faust geschah, lesen Sie in der Donau-Sage "Zum Teufel mit Dr. Faust".

Trockene Wiesen und ungeliebte Einwanderer…  
Im Eferdinger Becken ist die intensive landwirtschaftliche Nutzung dominant, die sich auf die Austufe und die Niederterrassen erstreckt. Dennoch haben sich einige wertvolle Strukturen und Lebensräumen erhalten können. Die Begleitdämme der Donau, die bei Radfahrern beliebt sind, stellen auf ihren südexponierten Flanken wichtige Biotope für trockene Wiesen dar (Salbei-Glatthaferwiesen). Auch entlang von Straßen an den Böschungen tritt dieser Wiesentyp auf. Ohne Pflege des Menschen, die einen intensiven Aufwand bedeutet (Mahd) würden diese Wiesen verschwinden. Eine andere Gefahr besteht vielfach durch so genannte Neophyten (vom Menschen eingeschleppte Pflanzen) wie die Kanadische Goldrute, die als Zierpflanze angebaut wurde. Häufig verwildert sie und breitet sich auf Trockenwiesen aus.

In der Nähe von Pupping hatte einst der Raubritter Mangold seine Burg. Mangold war "Ein echter Tunichtgut", mit dem es ein tragisches Ende nahm!

The fort
With an internal area of just 0.8 ha, the camp is described as a small fort and was probably designed for a garrison of 100 to 150 men. A 1.65 m thick defensive wall with a wooden walkway surrounded the rectangular complex. Analysis of the finds showed that the fort was built around 170 AD and the area was used until well into the 5th century.
The civilian settlement
The small civilian settlement(vicus), which was located in the area of today's campsite, was built around 150 AD. The Roman vicus of Schlögen probably served as a road station as well as a landing and reloading point for ships. The bathing building occupied a central position in the settlement and was located directly next to the road.

The rest areas consist of an exposed concrete column, reminiscent of a Roman milestone, bearing a Roman head created by artist Miguel Horn and containing information about the local community, the Danube cycle path and the Romans, as well as a 5 metre long rest bench made of concrete and stone and a paved floor made of Danube pebbles. The architecture is based on design elements from Roman times.

The design for the Roman rest areas was the result of a competition organised jointly with the University of Art and Design Linz and won by student Lukas Beltrame. An important partner in the construction of the squares is the construction academy in Steyregg, which produced all the built-in parts for the squares with its apprentices.

This replication of the lost Roman milestone from the 3th century AD was reconstructed after old templates and positioned at the “Donau-Landesausstellungs-Weg” path by the Jochenstein Run-of-River Plant. Decades ago the inscription of the ancient Roman milestone was copied and is the only remain of the whole stone. The milestone, likely from the time of the emperor Caracalla, was supposedly destroyed during the 18th century- only its measures and inscription are known.
The reading and translation of the inscription, from which only six copies exist, says after Gerhard Winkler: IMPERATOR CAESAR MARCVS AVRELIVS ANTONINVS PIVS FELIX AVGVSTVSPARTHICVS MAXIMVS BRITTANICVS MAXIMVS TRIBVNICA POSTESTATE VX IMPERATOR III CONSVL DESIGNATVS IIII VIAM IVXTA AMNEMDANVVIVM FIERI IVSSIT A BOIIDVRO IN some uninterpretable letters follow MILIA PASSVVM XV.

Pure gardening pleasure! The palace park is one of the four exhibition areas of the OÖ. Landesgartenschau "INNsGRÜN" 2025 in Schärding. The castle park enchants visitors with its historical elements, the fantastic view of the Inn and its harmonious atmosphere. 

A tour of the Schopper Museum not only provides interesting information about the social and economic circumstances of the Schoppers using original objects, display boards and interviews with contemporary witnesses, but also provides information about the wooden ships once produced in Aschach using models. The shipbuilder derives the name "Schopper" from the activity of "Schoppen", as the sealing of the joints in the production of ships, rafts or barges is called.
Progress and change in the fishing industry are also vividly presented through impressive exhibits. In addition to numerous specimens of fish species found in the Danube catchment area, various water-dwelling animals are also on display. It is one of the main tasks of the OÖ. Landesfischereiverband is to preserve and pass on the cultural heritage of fishing that has been passed down from generation to generation.

The north-east side of the Upper Place is thougt to owe its name - which means "silver row" - to the rich merchants who lived there in the days when the Inn was an important trade route. The colorful facades with their pastel shades go right back to the medieval guild colors that were attributed to the various trades (e.g. blue for bakers, red for butchers and yellow and green for innkeepers).

When you go up you will see the new Pixel Hotelroom, the clockwork from the year 1564 and the 6 bells. On top will have a great view!

Located directly on the B130 Nibelungen federal road between Passau and Linz, you can use our in-house BP petrol station for a refuelling stop. It is open from Monday to Sunday and on public holidays between 5 am and 9 pm. But you don't have to go without petrol outside these times either: A fuel terminal allows cashless refuelling around the clock.

Until 1570, the gate that used to be called the Inn Gate or Customs Tower belonged to the Dukes of Bavaria. It then fell to the town before passing into private hands in 1819. The town side of the tower features a fresco depicting the bombardment of Schärding by Danish and Austrian troops during the War of the Spanish Succession in 1703. The countless high-water marks meanwhile tell their own story of the town's numerous flood disasters. The balcony in the corner above the arch was originally used to pillory convicted criminals. It now houses a restaurant and a museum.

As an inn, the Thalinger Hof is one thing above all else: a host that cultivates a personal relationship with its guests. The cuisine at the Thalinger Hof is supervised by top chefs and is mainly based on tried and tested Austrian home cooking, prepared fresh daily using the best ingredients.

In the Baumgartner Brauerei Stüberl - affectionately known as the "Bums'n" - people don't just sit next to each other, but get together, share stories and laugh about anecdotes that have characterised the house for generations. The Bums'n is a place full of warmth, where life and community are celebrated. "Young and old come together here, the banker sits next to the labourer and the travelling troupe next to the employee," says Helmut Schuster with a smile - a real "living room" for the town and its visitors, because a feeling of home and togetherness is conveyed here. Once you enter the Bums'n, you become part of a living history made up of encounters, shared laughter and an appreciation of genuine, unadulterated cuisine.

The Bums'n has been a permanent fixture in Schärding for over a century. The listed building has a long history dating back to 1609, when Baumgartner beer was first brewed here. Helmut Schuster, who started as head waiter at the inn 21 years ago, took over the traditional business, which has been known as the "zur Bums'n" pub since 1946, together with his business partner Herbert Unger in 2013. The somewhat unusual name comes from a time when beer barrels were still delivered by carriage. They rolled over the sloping wooden floor of the pub and "banged" against the bar. These noises were memorised by the locals and this is how the pub got its unmistakable name, which still stands for it today. What else is unmistakable about the Bums'n? The aroma of roast meat in the Rein, warm Leberkäs with crispy Salzstangerl and the famous goulash that greets you as soon as you come near the inn - if you want to experience typical Innviertel cuisine, the Bums'n is the place to be! The Surrahmschnitzel in malt beer sauce and crisp, fresh salads round off the menu. The dishes reflect the love of hearty cuisine and make the restaurant a real culinary meeting place.

For the Bums'n team, regionality is paramount - many ingredients and products are sourced directly from the surrounding area. For Helmut and Herbert, the conscious decision to use regional products is not only a question of quality, but also an expression of their close connection to their homeland. The direct location of the inn in the baroque town, coupled with its proximity to the Inn and the loving preservation of old traditions, means that the connection to the Danube region can be felt in every corner of the house.
 
The rustic vaulted ceiling on the ground floor and the cosy guest garden invite you to relax with a cool Baumgartner beer after a hike or a cycle tour along the many cycle paths, such as the Inn-Donau-Runde or the Pram-Sauwald-Tour, to relax. The Inn Cycle Path, which leads directly through Schärding, also offers a wonderful route before a stop at the inn. Once you have visited the Bums'n, you will always want to come back - whether for the food, the get-together or simply to enjoy a good beer.
