Schlögen Loop

Highlight • Natural Monument

In Schlögen on the Schlögener Schlinge, you can take a rustic, small wooden ferry for little money. If you are out by bike and want to relieve your buttocks, the short hike to the viewpoint (signposted) is ideal: about 30 minutes walk away and offers great views of the loop.

Marsbach Castle

Highlight • Castle

The striking complex of Marsbach Castle with its square tower rises high above the Danube and not far from the Schlögener Schlinge. In 1075 "Morspah" is already mentioned in the files. In the 16th century, the original castle was demolished and converted into a renaissance castle. Today Marsbach Castle is privately owned.
