Schlögen Austria

 About 15 km past the Austrian border there is what's called the "Schlögen Schlinge" A 180 degree bend in the Danube. We stayed in the marina (you can just see it in the left of the picture) and walked up the mountain to the look out over this part of the river.
It was an overcast day which is not good for great pictures however it was good in that the 1.5 km hike which seemed to be straight up was a little more bearable.

By boat is not the only way to see the Danube

This little fellow was tired 
and hitched a ride.
