Danube Cycle Path Near Günzburg

Highlight • Cycleway

Here you can drive a few kilometers directly along the Danube embankment. For me, this is a welcome change, as the official Danube Cycle Route is often a bit away from the Danube.

Mouth of the Nau River

Highlight • River

Opposite the mouth of the Nau, the Günz also flows into the Danube. That makes Günzburg a 3-river city.

The "Lower Tower" is a landmark of Günzburg
The tower keeper's room was once where the tower keeper lived with their families. The fifth and sixth floors served as work and living quarters. The tower keeper was also a music teacher. To supplement his meager wages, he gave music lessons to the students of the neighboring Piarist College. On clear nights, the Piarists are said to have studied astronomy in the top tower room.

View of the Danube and Günzburg

Highlight • Viewpoint

"GÜNZ": derives from a Celtic river goddess named "Guntia" (or "Contia" and "Gontia").

At the southernmost point of the Günz Valley, at an elevation of 802 m above sea level, lies the source of the eastern Günz. After 39 km, the watercourse joins the western Günz near Lauben and then forms the actual Günz, which flows into the Danube after another 55 km near Günzburg.

Danube Riverside Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The bike path right next to the Danube is now super well laid out and is also great to ride with the family. There are also restaurants and snack bars every now and then.
