PREFACE

LINZ.CHANGES,

Danube cruisesThis manual is being published on the occasion of the 3rd Danube Tourism

Conference on 5 - 7 December 2012 in Linz. Its motto: “From Myth to Trade-

mark”.

After the very successful development of Danube cruise tourism, the message

coming from Linz will be that a successful future for tourism on the Danube

can no longer be built on the familiar selling points, clichés and backdrops,

but has to exploit the potential of the Danube and the Danube region more

extensively.

This means changing the scheduling of the Danube cruises in order to relieve

congestion at certain locks on certain weekdays. This means new experiences

in order to bring more visitors and return visitors to the Danube. This means

developing new markets in order to gain visitors for the Danube not only from

Europe and the USA, but also from China, India, Russia, Brazil or the Arab

countries.

It also means changes, new and additional offers, not to mention new

marketing cooperation for product development and sales. Linz and Upper

Austria see prospects in the development of Danube tourism, which open up

additional possibilities both for shipping companies and tour operators, but

also even better integrate the infrastructure along the river – from the hotels

through the Blue Danube Airport Linz to the still undiscovered monasteries,

towns and modern attractions, such as the Ars Electronica Center and Linz’s

new opera house.

This manual provides suggestions and organisational help, and should be un-

derstood as a first step towards even more intensive cooperation with all part-

ners involved in Danube cruise tourism – from ports through the Linz shipyard

to the services offered by electronic databases for Danube apps, websites etc.

Let’s come together to continue to develop the Danube. We want to be your

source of ideas and partner.

1. Linz is central

All moorings are in the city centre. In just a

few minutes you’re in the heart of the city. The

Werbegemeinschaft Donau Oberösterreich is

ready to construct further moorings, if needed.

2. Linz is ideally situated

The city lies half way between Munich and

Vienna, and between Salzburg and Prague.

Linz is easy to reach, whether you’re travelling

by car, rail or plane. Use the Blue Danube

Airport as the gateway for your departures.

3. Linz is shopping

The Linzer Landstraße, the main shopping

street in the city centre, is close to the

moorings and offers a good mix of high-quality

shops during your stay.

4. Linz is the future

The Ars Electronica Center, the “Museum of

the Future”, hosts exciting exhibitions. Digital

art and technology, fascinating architecture

and constantly changing LED façade lighting

make the Ars Electronica Center especially

eye-catching when viewed from onboard,

particularly in the evening.

Highlight: ships can have their name spelt out

individually on the illuminated façade.

5. Linz is sensual

High tech and high touch – The baroque

Hauptplatz (Main Square), the historical old

town and the best-known cake, the Linzer

Torte, stand for warmth, atmosphere and

everything which international visitors to

Austria and the Danube appreciate.

6. Linz is enjoyment

The Linzer Torte is considered the oldest

known cake in the world. The first recipe for

this sweet ambassador dates from 1653.

7. Linz, the capital of music

2013 sees the opening of the Musiktheater

Linz, Europe’s most modern opera house. The

diverse programme of opera, operetta, ballet

and musicals offers cruise passengers a varied

cultural highlight during their trip. Tickets can

already be booked in the afternoon during the

approach to Linz.

8. Linz is musical

The world-famous musician and composer

Anton Bruckner lived and worked in Linz.

You can follow in the footsteps of Bruckner

by visiting the Brucknerstiege in the stairway

of the Alter Dom (Old Cathedral) with the

only surviving organ played by the musician

and by making an excursion to the Abbey of

St. Florian, the final resting place of Anton

Bruckner.

9. Linz is a starting point for excursions

The proximity to many world heritage sites ma-

kes the capital of Upper Austria an excellent

starting point for excursions. Four UNESCO

world heritage sites are within less than 200

km. The old town of Krumau is well worth see-

ing, as are the impressive world of mountains

and lakes in Hallstatt and the famous wine

growing region of Wachau – just a few of the

highlights you can visit from Linz.

10. Linz is change

Linz symbolises the further development of

the Danube region. Both the modern buildings

on the Danube (Ars Electronica Center,

Lentos Museum of Modern Art, Brucknerhaus)

and the new cultural formats and festivals

(Ars Electronica Festival, the Höhenrausch

and Sinnesrausch exhibition projects) show

cultural developments in the 20th and 21st

centuries.

5. Coming focuses on the Danube

The topics presented here are based on plans of the Linz Tourist Board for addressing long-term thematic focuses, new marketing channels and groups of visitors.

For these themes, Linz Tourism has developed specific plans, which comprise not only communication and marketing activities, but also concrete offers and products that can also be taken up precisely in connection with Danube cruises.

2013 Music The starting point is the opening of Europe's most modern opera house in Linz. But also the composer Anton Bruckner and numerous creative musicians of national significance, who have left their traces in Linz and Upper Austria. Information about this can already be found on www.linz2013.at

2014 Danube 25 years since the fall of the Iron Curtain and a century since the outbreak of WW1, which can be viewed in the overall context of the Danube Monarchy as a multinational state. In 2014 the atten-tion of many Europeans will be drawn to the Danube. Consequently, communication, special publications by the established media and programme formats will be a focus in Linz.

2015 Still open The expo taking place in Milan could be a connection point for distant markets. Its main focus is food. Gourmet trips and dining themes should be considered in connection with the Danube/Milan expo.

2016 Sport, art and culture In October 2016, Linz will be hosting the Karate World Champion-ships with contenders from more than 100 nations. The staging of the World Championships and the planning of artistic and cultural activities in Linz will be developed around this slogan.

2017 Reformation The 500th anniversary of Luther’s posting of his theses is approaching. This will be a central theme throughout Europe. The character of Linz and Upper Austria in particular then became very protestant. But the effects of the Reformation also led to confusion, changes and upheavals along the whole of the Danube. Many reasons to bring your guests closer to a key period in European history connected with the Danube.

People and opinions

Magical Philippe, Anne-Marie, Patrick, Jeanine, Gérard und Christian Schmitter CroisiEurope

Since the beginnings of CroisiEurope, the Danube has been one of the rivers most appreciated by our customers. One can only marvel at the beauty of the legends surrounding it, its unique banks, the magnificent landscapes and the magic of the beautiful towns and cities that this river flows through. To discover this river is to enter the heart of the history and culture of Central Europe.

Myth of the DanubeDr. Petra Stolba Managing director of National Tourist Office

In the national tourism strategy, the Danube takes equal place with the Alps and our renowned cities. The Danube stands for cultural and city tourism as well as for nature, cuisine and enjoyment. For the further development of the Danube for tourism, the focus is precisely on these themes. The shipping companies and tour operators for Danube cruises are being supported, the Danube products are being further developed, so that the myth of the Danube can be used in its full scope and still further markets tapped into.

New prospectsMag. Felix König Managing director of Reisewelt, Linz

Danube cruises from Linz offer new prospects. Linz is the ideal starting point for one-way tours in the direction of the East or West. A journey by ship from Linz also contributes to the decongestion of routes. Linz is ideal as a “port of departure” or “port of arrival”. This includes hotel capacity, one of best equipped shipyards, and moorings in the direct proximity of the city centre.

Experience the Danube online

At the Linz Tourist Board we have a variety of tools for presenting both event data along the Danube and attractions (points of interest) in a dynamic way and in different languages.

Tourdata (the tourism data management system of Upper Austrian Tourism) provides a free interface with which it is possible to integrate into your existing website all points of interest, such as sights, museums, restaurants and cafés throughout Upper Austria.

You can use our applications as part of your Internet presence, information on board and also for your own app.

Wikitude – Your online journey of dis-coveryLoad the free app onto you smartphone, open the Linz “World” and undertake a journey of discovery through the city on the Danube. With the free Tour-data interface, this application can be adapted for any place in Upper Austria or for the entire route along the Upper Austrian Danube. www.linz.at/touris-mus/wikitude

Route of Emperors and KingsA website is currently being created, which makes the integration of data of interest to tourists along the Danube usable for cruise operators too. There are already links to shipping companies on the website of the Route of Emperors and Kings.

Perfect infrastructureIng. Reinhard Suppan Managing director of ÖSWAG Werft Linz AG

The Linz shipyard possesses extensive know-how and the perfect infrastructure to be a competent and reliable partner both for Danube cruise ships encountering short-term technical problems and for routine maintenance work. Linz has the most comprehensive service facilities for shipping along the upper and middle Danube.

The Linz Top Ten

Linzer Torte The sweet ambassador. The first recipe dates from 1653 and is therefore the world’s oldest cake recipe.

Castle Museum Linz and old town With its historical flair and beautiful restaurants, the old town of Linz invites you to relax. In its historical heart, the largest universal museum in Austria, in Linz Castle, catches the eye. Unforgettable: the view from the terrace over the roofs of the city.

Botanical Garden It is known as one of the most beautiful grounds in Europe. It displays more than 10,000 species of plants over 4.2 hectares. In five greenhouses, a unique collection of cacti and an unmissable orchid collection reveal their beauty.

Mariendom (New Cathedral) The largest church in Austria. The neo-Gothic cathedral also impresses with its tower, which is only a few metres shorter than that of Vienna's St. Stephen's Cathedral.

Europe’s most modern opera house

That’s a theatre. After 2009, which saw Linz as Europe’s cultural capital, the opening of the Musiktheater am Volks-garten, the city’s new opera house, will send waves throughout Europe.

The new opera house, the Bruckner Orchestra Linz and such famous names as Dennis Russell Davies or Philip Glass make Linz a lively centre for music and the performing arts. With the opening of Europe's most modern opera house in April, a whole new era of cultural enjoyment begins for those interested in the arts. With seats for 1,200 people, the new Musiktheater is Austria’s largest cultural building. The technology developed exclusively for Linz is unique: this includes a transportable revolving stage which, with a diameter of 32 metres, is one of the biggest in the world. This means that several changes of scene can be prepared at one and the same time. No other theatre in the world provides this combination of proven technologies.

Threefold anticipation of the new opera houseVisitors will enjoy operas, musicals and ballet performances even more, thanks to optimal acoustics, an uninterrupted view and comfortable seating. The higher capacity means that Linz will be even more attractive than before for international stars and visiting productions.And thirdly, the greater available space means the opera house’s own ensemble will finally be able to stage productions with a large orchestra, and thus offer the audience the whole spectrum of operas and musicals.

The expanded dimensions on the stage and in the orchestra pit will in future make it possible to offer big operas such as the Ring of the Nibelung, Parsifal or Salome, as well as large orchestrated works of the 20th century by such composers as Britten, Berg, Shostakovich or Glass.

Ballets, operettas and musicals will make use of these expan-ded facilities as well. The new institution will also provide a framework and possibilities for gala opera evenings with inter-national guest stars. www.musiktheater-linz.at

Prelude to new cultural experiences

The world-famous Bruckner Orchestra Linz under the direction of music director and conductor Dennis Russell Davies ensure perfect sound. It is one of Austria’s most prestigious symphonic orchestras.

Steel, chrome and a rich cultural herita-ge. Linz follows in the footsteps of Anton Bruckner, while encouraging innovation, experiments and the extraordinary. As a result, the Linzer Klangwolke has received global attention.

1979 was the first year when music flowed out of the concert hall

of the Brucknerhaus into the autumn air as an audiovisual spectacular

for up to 100,000 visitors on the banks of the Danube. Another positive

feature of the city: Anyone can access and afford to enjoy culture in Linz.

Elitism is elsewhere!

Soundscape of the cityAlmost 40 years ago the opening of the Brucknerhaus attracted a similar

amount of interest as the opening of the new Musiktheater this year.

The timelessly beautiful structure of the Finnish architects Kaija und

Heikki Sirén is set to become the soundscape of the city. In the concert

intervals, the opera house offers a unique view of the green cultural zone

of the Donaupark. Good acoustics and a musical programme ranging from

classical to brass draw around 200,000 culture vultures to the concert

halls of the Brucknerhaus each season.

Brucknerhaus lobby

The geniusThe Bruckner Festival honours the musical genius of Anton Bruckner. The divine spirit of “God’s composer” has never been more alive than it is today. Bruckner lived in and around Linz from 1824 to 1896. The Brucknerhaus, the Bruckner Festival and the private Bruckner University (under construction), the first to be built as a passive construction, still honour the composer today. And lest we forget, there’s also the Bruckner Stairway in the Alter Dom (Old Cathedral). For the very first time, this memorial site enables visitors to approach the composer – step by step. Anyone visiting the Bruckner Stairway is also treading in the paths which Bruckner once took.

ENGELHARTSZELL

Take a walk and experience the Danube valley

1 Walk to Engelszell monasteryFrom the ship’s mooring to the Engelszell

monastery – the only Trappist monastery in

Austria – (reformed Cistercians). Then onto the

first port of call at the “Engelhartszeller Donau-

Welt”, the Wassererlebnis Mini-Donau theme park with large aquarium and Sinnesgarten sensory garden, directly adjacent to the Engelszell

monastery. Then it’s back on board.

2 Circular tour through the historic market town of Engel-hartszell The Danube market town of Engelhartszell was

and remains one of the most significant places

close to the border, thanks to its position on the

Danube traffic and trading route. Next to the

Engelszell monastery can be found the Imperial

Toll Gate, the most important building of the

market town, which collected tolls from 1450.

From your mooring to the Danube Stories

exhibition. At the entrance you’ll find an info

point, which will tell you about “Natura 2000”,

then continue along the Marktstrasse to the

Imperial Toll Gate.

3 Along the Danube region on the Danube pathAt the Engelhartszell I mooring, you will be

given a friendly welcome by the Penzenstein

cliff across the river, with its magnificent view of

the Danube. The start of the Danube path – the

second stopping point on the “Engelhartszell

Danube World”, where you’ll discover much

about shipping and the Danube. In the Danube

workshops, creations by local artists are displayed

from May to October. The Danube Exhibition

is located in the Danube Ship. Here numerous

displays and items from the 1994 state

exhibition have found their home.

Continue in the direction of the Danube ferry to

the German-Austrian Jochenstein Danube power

station. An important stopping point on this

path is the Roman milestone, a reference to the

Roman Limes, the former border of the Roman

empire. The “Haus am Strom” can be found on

the Bavarian side.

1 Walks from SchlögenFrom the Schlögen mooring you walk downriver

to the small road called the Güterweg Inzell. Turn

right here and after 60 m you'll reach the start

of the Schlögener Blick trail on the left-hand

side of the road. Initially the trail rises steeply,

before you comfortably reach the world-famous

vantage point. From here you enjoy an impressive

view of the natural wonder of Upper Austria, the Schlögener Schlinge loop. The walking time there

and back comes to approx. 1 hour.

2 A beautiful short walk takes you around the

Hotel Donauschlinge. At the rear of the hotel

premises are the small remains of a western gate from Roman times. In 1838 a Roman castle was

discovered at the hotel premises. You can find

more information on the information board.

Take a walk and experience the Danube valley

There’s still a little bit of the Middle Ages to discoverThe charming market town on the Danube

Cycleway lies between Passau and Linz, where

the Danube leaves the confinement of the

“Sauwald” and flows into the open “Eferding

basin”. Aschach was first mentioned in the

year 777 on the foundation of Kremsmünster

monastery and in 1512 it received its own mar-

ket coat-of-arms from Emperor Maximilian with

the confirmation of its legal status as a market

town.

Thanks to its central position on the Danube with

the Danube crossing (formerly a cable ferry, now

the Danube bridge) the connection to the railway,

Aschach has been an important trading point for

many centuries.

1 Aschach barrier-free culture trailWith the creation of a barrier-free culture trail

along the Danube promenade, Aschach offers

a further cultural highlight, which is designed

especially for people with disabilities.

The stopping points along the Danube are

located between the parish church and the

Schopperplatz. Each one offers a translation

into sign language via a monitor. Easy-to-read

texts make it possible for people with learning

difficulties to absorb the information.

2 Schopper- und Fischereimuseum(approx. 800 m from the mooring upstream) The

museum presents the history of the market town

of Aschach in connection with the building of

wooden rowboats and shipping on the Upper

Danube. The Schoppermuseum explains the

historical craft of wooden rowboat making as

well as the social and cultural background to

this trade. What’s more, the last original “Zehner

Trauner” is on display, a wooden rowboat able to

transport 10 cubic metres of stone. The fishery

museum shows the development of commercial

and leisure fishing in Upper Austria with special

reference to the Upper Danube.

www.aschach.at

OttensheimFriendly, idyllic Danube market town with

romantic alleys and a distinctive character.

Once an important trading hub on the Danube,

Ottensheim is Austria’s third oldest market

town and has a historical market centre with

buildings from past centuries.

According to an old legend, the inscription on

the “Kindlhaus” states that Emperor Otto IV was

born there in 1208. Historians have never been

able to prove this, but we are nonetheless proud

of “our Kindlhaus”!

The Ottensheim flying bridge

Ottensheim’s own emblem. Founded in 1871

as a transfer company. An idyllic link between

here and there. Every year,

thousands of cyclists cross

back and forth between the

Wilhering and Ottensheim

sides of the Danube.

The ferry in Ottensheim

to Wilhering Abbey: a

Cistercian abbey since

1146. The church is said

to be the most beautiful

rococo church in Austria.

The abbey, its church and

park can be visited.

www.ottensheim.info

GreinOn the Calvary hill and at the Donaublick in the

Castle park, you can gain a magnificent view of

the town of Grein and the Danube.

Directly on the Danube, the newly-designed Da-

nube Promenade invites you to walk and while

your time away. Stroll from the “Esperantoplatz”

in the west to the “Halterkreuz” in the east. On

the “Esperantoplatz”, next to the mooring of the

Danube ferry, there is also the sundial of the

physicist, Dr. Werner Riegler, who lived in Grein.

The Halterkreuz at the eastern entrance to the

town recalls the miraculous rescue of a she-

pherd boy from the floodwaters of the Danube.

Mooring 15"Mauthausen goes round"

Much from centuries gone by can still be seen

and discovered today on a tour of Mauthausen.

Mauthausen stands on an old settlement area,

which is verified by findings from the Neolithic

period. The importance of the location increased

over the centuries, because two trade routes

crossed here: the Danube ship route and the salt

and iron route. Pragstein Castle was established

on a little rock island in the Danube by Lasla of

Prague. A solid bridge was constructed over the

Danube for first time in 1505.

Heindlkai This dock was called Johanneskai

in former times. Today's name comes from the

mayor Leopold Heindl.

Pragstein Castle This was originally a moated

castle, surrounded by the Danube. Access was

only possible by means of a suspension bridge.

Today, Pragstein Castle accommodates the

museum of local history and the provincial school

of music. It also accommodates a pharmacy museum and the Prof. Gerstmayr-Museum (steel

cuts) as well as a hunting trophy collection.

The Johannes Nepomuk statue is in the proximity

of the elementary school. He is considered to

be the patron of confessors, priests, mariners,

raftsmen, bridges, millers and of the confessional

secret; Johannes Nepomuk also helps in the case

of all water dangers and stands for discretion.

Parish church of St. NikolausThe parish church of St. Nikolaus can be best

reached by means of the small or lower church

staircase. The late Gothic church dates from

the middle of the 15th century. The baroque

remodelling took place in the 17th and 18th

centuries. The altar panels of the famous baroque

painter Johann Martin Schmidt, called Kremser

Schmidt, were also purchased at this time.

Grein, mooring 18Grein – „Pearl of the Struden-gau“ That's what poets call the little old Danube town

of Grein. The citizens of Grein have possessed

the town charter since 1491. In the medieval

period it was known far and wide as the “little

olden town", and today Grein enchants with

nostalgic charm.

The Historical Town Theatre of Grein (1791) is, as the oldest secular theatre in Austria, without

doubt an attraction of European importance.

Today, the so well-preserved town theatre is

regarded as a gem. Many curiosities from the

past can be seen here. Original seats that had

to be locked/unlocked with a small key; a toilet

that was separated from the auditorium only

by a curtain; a prison from where the prisoners

could watch the performances and were given

food, drinks and tobacco by the audience,

so that they could really enjoy the show; the

Napoleon box and a lot more. Today it offers

167 seats.

The historical town square of GreinOn the town square and along the main street,

we see predominantly two and three storey

farmers' town houses, on extended medieval

parcels of land, which are typical of the city.

The old town hall with the historical town

theatre and the former shipmaster's house with

the Arkadenhof courtyard are especially worth

seeing (incl. history of the Danube town of Grein

and history of shipping on the Danube).

Greinburg CastleOne of the oldest occupied castles in the Habs-

burg Empire, built 1488 - 1493. It gained its

current appearance under Count

Leonhard Helfrich von Meggau,

who acquired the castle in 1621.

Its stunning Renaissance arcaded

inner courtyard: one of the largest

and most beautiful from the late

Renaissance, a space with Gothic

cellular vaulting.

The Upper Austrian Danube region does not shy away from the darker side of history.

Because the turning point in recent European

history took place here: in March 1938 Adolf

Hitler, who went to school in Linz, annexed

Austria to National Socialist Germany. In and

around Linz there are numerous traces of recent

history.

Here we promote the “culture of remembering”:

Every day, visitors learn from history.

Fabulous hiking experiences on the Donausteig

The great diversity of the diffe-rent landscapes along the Ba-varian-Upper Austrian Danube alone would be enough to merit a cry of “Simply fabulous!”.

Coming from the historical three rivers city of

Passau, the river first wends its way through the

wooded ridges of the upper Danube valley.

The highlight of this stretch is the Schlögener

Schlinge loop. Over millions of years, the

river has truly bitten away in vain at the hard

Schlögener rock. So it has had to find a detour,

changing its direction twice.

A fabulous joy for the hiker, who is able to view

this spectacle. Next comes the fertile plain of

the Eferding Basin, the vegetable garden of

Upper Austria. Between the Mühlviertel and

the massive back of the Kürnberg Forest, the

Danube makes its way to Linz, the regional

capital, and on into the alluvial forest around

the mouths of the rivers Enns and Traun. The

Machland to the north of the river is again fertile

flat land, before the banks in the Strudengau

again become more rugged, wild and romantic

just before the little town of Grein.

“The Donausteig is a

way for the creative

hiker, there is so much

to choose from, the

resourceful hiker will

always find the delight

that suits him best".

Manuel AndrackEditor, presenter,

author, hiker and long-time partner of star

presenter Harald Schmidt.

Linzer Torte The “Linzer Torte” is considered the oldest

known cake in the world. Its

name was already mentioned

in 1653. However, it will

always remain a mystery who

gave it its name or invented

it. The oldest recipe dates

from a cookery book that is

over 350 years old. “Buech

von allerley Eingemachten

Sachen, also Zuggerwerckh,

Gewürtz, Khütten und sonsten

allerhandt Obst wie auch

andere guett und nützlich

Ding etc.” is its long and

tongue-twisting name!

is created according to the oldest handed-

down cake recipe in the world and, attractively

packaged, sent throughout the world as a

souvenir or business gift.

Now you have the opportunity to prepare

your own personal original Linzer Torte and

take it home with you. That might be in the

atmospheric k.u.k. Hofbäckerei Rath, in

the Bäckerei-Konditorei Hofmann or in the

demonstration bakery of Konditorei Jindrak,

which also awards the Linz baking diploma. The

master bakers and confectioner initiates you into

the secrets of this popular Linz delicacy and

shows you tips and tricks. Give free rein to your

creativity and dexterity. And last of all, sprinkle

with some crumbled almond and pop it into the

oven.

After about 1.5 hours, the cake you have made

yourself will be ready to collect in its gift box.

City landmarks at the Danube

Budapest

That can be seen particularly impressively from on board ship.The traditional city silhouettes like Regensburg, Passau and especially imperial Budapest have, in recent years, been joined by Linz with new spectacular structures.The Linz Brucknerhaus by the

Finnish architect Heikki Siren was built in 1975, while the Lentos Museum of Modern Art (by the Zurich-based office of architects Weber + Hofer AG) and the Ars Electronica Center (by the architectural practice Treusch architecture from Vienna)

were opened in 2009. The Ars Electronica Center illuminates the backdrop of the Danube with one of the largest LED façades in Europe. An impressive play of light from modern glass-rich architecture make the evenings in Linz especially an unforgettable

experience. On the vessel you'll have the best seats. Use your ship's route planning to present the Danube to your guests in its traditional/imperial, Gothic and baroque aspects, as well as in its modern and luminous aspects in Linz.

The Danube not only characterises landscapes, but also the city silhouettes.

There are countless transport routes in Europe, but barely any is as young and age-old, and at once so rich in history and contemporary as the route along or on the Danube, from Regensburg to Budapest.This route along the Danube is a part of European history and tradition. The

traces of emperors and kings lead us through medieval cities, to monasteries,

castles and magnificent residences. Travelling by ship on the venerable

Danube, then as today, is doubtless the most princely way of getting around

if you want to discover the Route of Emperors and Kings.

The prosperity and culture of the people who live in this beautiful fairy-

tale landscape are present everywhere and reflected in the unique art

treasures, majestic buildings and sophisticated, diverse cultural events

along the Danube from Regensburg to Straubing, Passau, Linz, Vienna and

on to Budapest. The Route of Emperors and Kings – a majestic travelling

experience on the trail of European culture and history. Fascinating natural

landscapes, culinary delights, wonderful hospitality and marvellous comfort.

Linz – LentiaLate Celtic and Roman remains show that from the 50s of 1 AD, the Romans

exercised their influence right through to the Danube. In late antiquity in the

4th and 5th centuries, a castle on the Römerberg protected the border and

the civilian populace. Roman cemeteries can frequently be found along the

important Roman main roads, which crossed here. Remains and exhibitions

can be seen in the Genesis city museum and in the Upper Austrian Castle

Museum.

For decades, the ÖSWAG has meant “the shipyard” to the people of Linz.

The main focus of the shipyard is the carrying

out of ship repairs, installation of new engines,

modification and construction of passenger ships,

cargo ships and tankers. The latest new vessels

(passenger ships) have been supplied to the

Achsensee, Lake Constance, the Bielersee and the

Danube.

Two hopper barges and a dredger pontoon for the

AHP, a pumping station for the ÖMV, a boat for

the police in Vienna, a prototype of an official boat

for the shipping inspectorate, and the swimming

whirlpool for the Weisse Rössl hotel were further

highlights of the last years.

The potential of the shipyard lies in its location

directly on the Danube, in its employees, and

in the good infrastructure in combination with

the machine pool of ÖSWAG Maschinenbau.

The ÖSWAG shipyard is the only one in Austria

for large vessels and can almost cover all the

requirements of inland navigation. The Linz

shipyard serves the shipping companies as a

service support point along the Danube and as a

winter harbour. It can respond rapidly and flexibly

by providing an efficient slipway, the halls, and the

available berths. Almost all services are offered

which are needed for the smooth operation of

ships. Mobile squads ensure technical support

along the Danube and also in the lake districts of

Austria, Switzerland and Germany.

The infrastructure (slipway length = 270 m, hall,

cranes) enable 2 ships with a length of 130 m to

be brought to shore simultaneously. Vessel widths

of up to 20 m are possible. Every year, approx.

130 to 160 vessels of different types and sizes

are taken out of the water and maintained on

the slipway. The customers from neighbouring

countries come from the Rhine, Main and Danube

as well as from the Bavarian, Swiss and Austrian

lake regions.

Donausteig book of legends

Since 2010, the Donausteig, a 23-stage idyllic

hiking trail, has passed through the Upper

Austrian hill country to the right and left of

the Danube. Defiant castles and storied ruins

are perched above the Nibelungen river like

sentinels. Tranquil villages, proud farms and

time-honoured monasteries tempt you to linger.

The common thread of the hiking trail are the

legends surrounding the Danube: at 125 resting

points they are related and shown – and the

most beautiful Donausteig legends can now

be read about in this book. Helmut Wittmann

relates them with his usual lively wit and hu-

mour – and Jakob Kirchmayr has designed the

illustrations with his customary skill and a lot of

feeling for the essence of the tales.
