SPIRITUAL HIKING ON THE DONAUSTEIG:

Bridges connect one shore with the other. When looking at the Aschach Danube Bridge, these impressions inspire me to interpret it as a symbol for my life.

• Where in my life have I crossed "bridges" to achieve the impossible, to overcome abysses?


• Who or what helped me? Who was a bridge for me?


• Where could I assume a bridging function for others?


• When was I a bridge builder?


• In which important life topics would I like to build bridges to continue well in the future?

Shipping has always played an important role along the Danube and remains significant today - whether excursion shipping, cabin cruises, or ferry rides. In Aschach, one can also visit the Cooper and Fishermen's Museum dedicated to a nearly forgotten craft.

Directions:
The starting point is in Aschach directly at the church. At the café at the square we turn into Reitingerstr. and after about 300 m turn right and upwards. The street turns into a field path and leads uphill. Across fields and meadows we reach Vornholz. On lightly trafficked roads we descend to Aschach and go past the Cooper and Fishermen's Museum back to the starting point.Tip:

The route is also suitable for the summer months - many sections lead through cool forest areas.

The Aschach Schopper and Fishermen's Museum offers an overview of the historical craft of coopering as well as fishing then and now.

Also visit the barrier-free cultural hiking trail in Aschach and learn more about the history of the Danube market town.
