Persenbeug Market Linden Natural Monument

Highlight • Natural Monument

An impressive, over 600-year-old linden tree, declared a natural monument in 1989. Right next to it is the Café zur Linde, very fitting.

Persenbeug Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle was first mentioned in history in 907. The Bavarian Sieghart, Count of Sempt and Ebersberg, took possession of “Bösenberg” and fortified it.
In 1045 the Sempt-Ebersberger family died out and a ceremonial estate settlement took place at the castle on July 12th, at which King Henry III was also present. was present. Then the floor of the knight's hall collapsed due to overload, so that the whole company fell; the king escaped with minor injuries; Bishop Bruno of Würzburg and Abbot Altmann of Ebersberg lost their lives; Richlind, the widow of Adalbero II, the last Ebersberger, is also said to have died.

Persenbeug Castle and Ybbs-Persenbeug Hydroelectric Power Plant

Highlight • Monument

It is very interesting to watch the ships in the lock from the bridge. It takes a while, but the opportunity is good. The lock operation is fascinating to watch. Here you can watch how large cargo ships and river cruise ships pass through the lock and overcome the difference in height of the Danube.

The Ybbs-Persenbeug power station is not only the oldest Danube power station in Austria, but also one of the most impressive technical structures along the Danube. Together with the lock system, it is an important landmark for the region and a popular destination for bicycle tours and technology enthusiasts. The power station was built between 1954 and 1959 and was the first Danube power station in Austria.

There is a visitor center that offers insights into how the power station works and its history. The power station is located directly on the Danube cycle path, which runs along both banks. The stretch between Ybbs and Persenbeug is particularly attractive, offering a mixture of nature and technology along the Danube.
