Small Danube Resonance Trail Loop
The loop follows the signage of the well-known market round. The pure walking time is about 1.5 hours. The start sign of the Danube Resonance Trail Loop is located at the Wesenufer Hotel.
In 1996, the area around the Kleine Kösslbach was declared a nature reserve. The Danube Resonance Trail allows a deeper experience of the healthy diversity of the elements' world there. On the small DANUBE RESONANCE TRAIL loop, you can immerse yourself in the power of the elements on 4.5 kilometers around Wesenufer. On the small loop, you also pass three personality sculptures: Johann Haderer, Rosa Beer and Alois Rosenstingl. The small loop is pram-friendly with its own barrier-free partial loop.
You encounter the four elements on the experience stages:
- From the sports field to Kreuzstöckl, the element Earth prevails – here you should consciously perceive the stability of the earth supporting you with every step as you walk
- From Kreuzstöckl to the Fahrner Sculpture Park, you immerse yourself in the element Fire, where one should walk consciously powerfully
- The element Air takes over from Fahrner Sculpture Park to the Danube bridge – a light-footed springy march over roots and uneven ground with deep inhales and exhales
- Along the river paths, as could be no different, you walk in the traces of the element Water. Here, you should consciously place your steps flowingly.
For each element, there is an experience stage as well as the WATER exercise device in the inclusion zone directly on the riverside promenade near the Wesenufer Hotel.
At the start or finish of the route, the 4 group element places await you at the Wesenufer Hotel:
- WATER – WISHES at the stone jetty of Wesenufer natural beach
- AIR – TALENTS in a circle around the Wesenufer center tree in the hotel courtyard
- FIRE – SPALIER at the Danube ascent to the parking lot
- EARTH – QUESTION-ANSWER LINES between or in front of the trees on the shore
The loop also offers new perspectives when walked in the opposite direction.

If you sit on the terrace of the Hotel Wesenufer in the morning, you will be greeted not only by the warm rays of the sun, but also by the gentle lapping of the Danube, which flows right next to the guest garden. The hotel, close to the Schlögener Donauschlinge, combines this cosy location with the warmth of its team, who look after every single guest attentively. With over 700 years of history, the hotel combines a unique location with active inclusion, respectful interaction and joie de vivre.
The Wesenufer Hotel & Seminarkultur was opened in its current form in 2008 following a comprehensive renovation. Today, the hotel is managed by Margarete Durstberger and is part of the flagship operation of pro mente Oberösterreich - a non-profit organisation dedicated to the mental and social health of people. The hotel currently employs between 45 and 50 people with disabilities, who fulfil a variety of tasks in different areas of the business. They work in the kitchen, in service, in cleaning and sometimes also in the garden or event area. The focus here is clearly on each individual, as everyone is deployed according to their skills and interests so that all individual strengths can be utilised.
The Wesenufer Hotel's cuisine focuses on regional and seasonal products, which are prepared with a lot of love and bring a piece of home to the plate. The homemade Sauwald potato noodles are a particular favourite, with guests returning time and time again. The kitchen team knows every ingredient and its origin inside out - so you can feel the connection to the region and the tradition that goes into these dishes with every bite. Fresh ingredients such as meat from Sigharting, vegetables from Eferding and eggs from happy hens from Haibach characterise the culinary offering. From the sumptuous breakfast buffet to Austrian creations for lunch and dinner, the hotel spoils its guests and always pays attention to the conscious and sustainable use of food.
For travelling guests or visitors to seminars and events, the hotel offers 49 stylish and modern rooms, including three barrier-free rooms, some of which have a balcony or terrace with a view of the Danube. If you would like to explore the Danube even closer than from your room, the Hotel Wesenufer offers the opportunity to explore the Danube region by bike on the Danube cycle path, on foot on the surrounding hiking trails or on a Danube boat trip. The Wesenufer Hotel not only offers relaxation and enjoyment, but also an inspiring experience of active inclusion and sustainable tourism.
