The towpath directly on the bank is accompanied by a parallel, mostly even wider path, which is quieter to ride. Further into the forest there are a variety of singletrack trails - here you always have to expect fallen branches/trees.

The bridge plays an important role in regional development. It closes gaps in the cycle path network and creates a direct north-south connection that also connects to supra-regional cycle routes. Furthermore, the new Traun crossing contributes significantly to the development of a sustainable mobility network.
