Here, the Danube Valley is very narrow and lined with countless rock formations. It's a must-see.

In spring it was not possible to cross the Danube here due to strong currents and high water. Now in midsummer you are spoiled for choice. Either wade through or walk over the ashlars with dry feet.

Just walk over it and read the many display boards. Only then do you know how important this bridge was in earlier times.
