You cross the street and walk along the Danube towards the east. After 15 minutes, you reach the memorial built in honor of those who died during the construction of the power plant. Up to this point, the path is asphalted except for a few meters stabilized with stones. Now continue along a sandy road next to the Danube old arm. On the right is the floodplain forest and on the left the shore of the old arm. After 10 minutes, you reach a fork. Stay on the left, marked path. On the right, you can see a pond. After a total walking time of 60 minutes, the floodplain forest becomes thinner. Shortly before the open-air facility, a gravel path branches off to the right. On this, you walk directly to the parking lot.Equipment:
