Donauleitenweg - No. 76

No interior tour The walls of a rectangular keep and palas with remnants of a ring and kennel can still be found behind a moat on the steep slope. Only small remains of the former outer bailey, destroyed by road construction, and the gatehouse are still standing. The seat of the Passau ministers played a certain role in the Schaunberg feud of the 13th century. It fell into disrepair in the 15th century, but is now inhabited again.

The inn is located directly on the "Donausteig" or "Donausteigrunde" and the "Schlögener-Blick" Very good regional cuisine, large terrace.

In the 1950s, the inn was nicknamed the "Dreimäderlhaus" (three-wheeled house) because of the innkeeper's three pretty daughters, which aroused the curiosity of many a young boy and prompted him to stop in. In 1960, daughter Hedwig and her husband Eduard Schlager, who was the first to drive the workers of the Quelle mail-order company to Linz and back on weekdays with his own bus, took over the innkeeping business after his untimely death in 1976. During this time, extensive conversion and renovation work was carried out. Peter Schlager took over the business from his mother in 1995. The inn, located directly on the Nibelungen federal road, is an insider's tip for the many fishing enthusiasts who try their luck at the adjacent ponds of the Donauschlinge. With well-organised musical mornings in the summer months, the innkeeper always succeeds in attracting mainly guests from the community and from neighbouring Haibach ob der Donau. They are treated to good home cooking and a speciality of the house, home-roasted Steckerlfischen. In winter, the aforementioned ponds and the in-house ice rinks are an Eldorado for curling. On fine winter days, up to a hundred curlers can be found here, and of course the Schlager Inn provides them with warm and cold drinks.

Donauschlucht und kleine Täler…   
Der Sauwald und die Donauschlucht sind über kleinere Gewässer eng verbunden. Ein weitläufiges Netz kleinerer Fließgewässer durchzieht den Sauwald. Zu einem großen Teil sind diese noch als sehr naturnah zu bezeichnen. Ein gewundener Verlauf, gehölzbestockte Ufer und vielfältige Bett- und Sohlstruktur sorgen für ein natürliches Erscheinungsbild. Die Gewässergüte hat sich in den letzten Jahren erheblich verbessert. Leider ist die Belastung der Gewässer durch Schadstoffeinträge dennoch so hoch, dass gewisse Tierarten wie Krebse, Steinfliegen und Flussperlmuschel – ursprünglich in diesen Gewässern heimisch - nicht bestehen können. Die Gewässer am Nordrand des Sauwaldes entwässern direkt in die Donau, manche von ihnen haben sich wildromantische Talschluchten geschaffen.

Zwischen Wesenufer und Schlögen, wo sich heute Felder ausbreiten, war früher eine reiche, prunkvolle Stadt. "Die Stadt, die unterging" riss auch ihre Bewohner mit sich - warum? Das weiß die Donau-Sage.

There are sports fields and playgrounds for children in the two main towns of Waldkirchen and Wesenufer.
In Waldkirchen am Wesen, a funcord for football, handball, volleyball and other sports was built next to the children's playground in 2007 and is accessible and usable for EVERYONE.
