Where the Aist flows into the Danube is a place that brings people together: Camping Au is more than just a campsite - it is a culinary meeting place for travellers from all over the world. Campers, cyclists and locals come together here to experience nature, enjoy good food, laugh together and swap stories.
 
The campsite stands for cosmopolitanism and community - inspired by the travels of the two campsite operators and the special atmosphere that welcomes every guest. Gerhard and Arnold, both career changers, have been running this unique meeting place since 2006. What once began with a small hut and a few barrels has developed into a place that now brings together people from over 60 nations. Arnold, a trained chef, and Gerhard, a globetrotter with a knack for crafts and gardening, complement each other perfectly. Their love of diversity and their travels characterise the special atmosphere of the campsite. "For us, camping means bringing nature and people together - that's the most beautiful and sometimes the most challenging thing," says Arnold, smiling as he prepares vegetables for dinner. This philosophy is particularly reflected in their multicultural kitchen team, which is enriched by Nepalese chefs - a connection inspired by Gerhard's travels in Nepal. A culinary highlight that is particularly popular with many guests is the "Donaustandler". This exciting fusion of regional ingredients and innovative flavours never fails to delight guests. In addition to this favourite, the "Donau Stand'l" also offers regional specialities such as crispy Steckerlfisch, the vegetarian "Boßner" or freshly prepared farmer's doughnuts. For vegans, there is also the Nepalese Momo, which rounds off the offer.
 
The location of the square, directly on the Danube and surrounded by orchards, invites you to experience nature in all its beauty. You can watch kingfishers, cycle along the banks or visit the "Biberbursch": a beaver that has lived nearby for years and regularly builds its dams. Gerhard laughs: "We have a kind of contract with him - as long as he sticks to the rules, he can stay!"
 
After a good meal, it's best to stay on site. Campsites, huts, owl's nests and sleeping barrels ensure relaxed nights in the middle of nature. Whether on a cycle tour along the Donau cycle path, on a hike "Fuchtelmanderl-Weg" or on a day trip - Camping Au offers enjoyment, relaxation and the feeling of being part of something special.

These tours also lead past the donAu-Stand'l:

The team of the Hotel-Restaurant zum Donaueck-Mauthausen

In this rustic restaurant, you will be served hot meals all day from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. - ideal for a break from cycling. In the colder months of the year, you can enjoy food and drink in front of an open fire.

The area includes the swimming lake, the green belt with various parking lots, restaurants and snack bars as well as playgrounds, a camping ground and a small grocery store. For lovers of the free-body culture, there has been a naturist area right on the lake since 1982.

Anna Grasser sees her restaurant as a place for personal contacts. The café is a Mauthausen meeting place with tradition - for over 40 years!

You cycle along the Danube Cycle Path in the countryside, with the rolling hills of the Machland region in view, looking forward to your long-awaited break. Where better to spend it than surrounded by the aroma of baked bread, ripe fruit and a hint of fine brandy at Radlerbauernhof Moser in Mitterkirchen. More than just a rest stop, this place is a retreat full of warmth and hospitality, where the Moser family are living their dream. Andreas, once a glazier and now a brandy and cider sommelier, has created a place here with his wife Christine and their three children Michael, Theresa and Maximilian that not only impresses with its history, but also delights with its many products.
 
Every guest is welcomed with a warm smile, because that has always been a priority for the Moser family. Between tradition and innovation, the farm is now run by the eighth generation of Andreas and Christine - the quality of their products is still their top priority. All products are made in-house: from apple juice to fresh bread, from bacon to jam - nothing is bought here. This makes the farm an almost self-sufficient restaurant. The Radlerbauernhof's range also includes an impressive selection of high-quality brandies and liqueurs. In addition to classic varieties such as the Dirndl liqueur made from cornelian cherries, various fruit brandies such as apple, pear, plum and cider brandies, Andreas also likes to experiment with creative brandies such as cigar brandy, grape brandy at cask strength and the World Cup edition "Whisky meets apricot". One thing remains the same for all distillations: only the best, farm-grown fruit is used.
 
The Radlerbauernhof is located in Machland, a region that could not be better suited to fruit growing. The farm also strengthens its identity by working with regional confectioners and participating in local initiatives. For the Moser family, regionality means one thing above all: a matter close to their hearts.
 
Far more than just a stage destination for hikers along the Donausteig and the Teufelsweg or cyclists on routes such as the Donauradweg, the Alpenblick-Runde or the Radrunde Linz-Grein-Linz, the Radlerbauernhof Moser is a place that passes on the history of the region to guests. The farm invites you to savour its own delicacies, experience the art of distillation and get to know the warmth of the Moser family. Visitors can take part in guided tours of the show distillery and even taste the farm's own products. And if you really want to feel at home with the Moser's, stay overnight in one of the cosy farmhouse guest rooms.

Gegabelter Fluss…  
Bevor der Mensch in den Lauf der Donau eingegriffen hat, verzweigte sich die Donau, in mehrere Haupt- und Nebenarme. Zwischen Geschiebeanlandungen und -ablagerungen herrschte ein dynamisches Gleichgewicht zu dem regelmäßige Überflutungen und Laufverlagerungen gehörten. Unter diesen Einflüssen entwickeln sich Flussauen, in denen alle Bewohner an den schwankenden Wasserstand angepasst sind. In Mitteleuropa sind heute nur noch Reste der ursprünglichen Auen vorhanden, da viele dieser Wälder durch Abholzung, Umwandlung in landwirtschaftliche Flächen, Besiedelung und Flussregulierungen zerstört wurden. Trotz Nutzung und wasserbaulicher Eingriffe sind entlang der Donau flächige Auwälder erhalten geblieben. Sie enthalten die naturschutzfachlich wertvollsten Tier- und Pflanzenarten des Machlandes. (nähere Infos: Naturinfozentrum Saxen, www.entenlacke.com).

Früher waren die Donau-Auen besiedelt von Wassergeistern, die die Menschen mit ihrem Gesang betörten und sie dann in die Tiefe zogen. Heute findet man keine Wasserwesen mehr. "Wer die Nixen vertrieben hat"? Eine Donau-Sage erzählt von dem Ereignis.

The rest areas consist of an exposed concrete column, reminiscent of a Roman milestone, bearing a Roman head created by artist Miguel Horn and containing information about the local community, the Danube cycle path and the Romans, as well as a 5 metre long rest bench made of concrete and stone and a paved floor made of Danube pebbles. The architecture is based on design elements from Roman times.

The design for the Roman rest areas was the result of a competition organised jointly with the University of Art and Design Linz and won by student Lukas Beltrame. An important partner in the construction of the squares is the construction academy in Steyregg, which produced all the built-in parts for the squares with its apprentices.

The restaurant is both a bar and a café and also offers small snacks to keep hunger at bay. There are often various events in the evening.

One of the oldest villages in Upper Austria was also home to one of the few fortifications built directly in the Danube in Austria. As late as 1860, a few years before the major regulation of the Danube, Pragstein Castle was located on a rocky island near Mauthausen, connected to the riverbank only by a bridge. This also explains its keel-shaped construction. The castle had to withstand a number of floods, so care was taken during construction to create a streamlined floor plan. In addition, the building has a wedge-shaped tip on the west side facing the river, which served as a breakwater. The four-storey, rectangular building is crowned by a mighty hipped roof. On the upstream west side, the roof shows a cross created by the type of shingles. Directly below the hipped roof is a surrounding arched frieze on corbels. One of these stands out in particular. On the north side facing the riverbank is the large iron-bound gate with a one-man hole, above which is a flat bay window on stepped consoles on the 2nd floor. There was a sally port on the opposite side of the river, but this no longer exists. The stone coat of arms of the barons of Prague can still be seen above it today. The windows and light openings on the lower storeys are rather plain. On the upper two floors, however, the window jambs from the time of construction are richly moulded. The entire building has strong corner ashlars. The interior is dominated by Gothic elements, barrel vaults with Renaissance stucco frames from around 1600. The castle is entered through the gate on the market side with a one-man hole. Directly behind the gate is a small vaulted vestibule supported by stone pillars. Down here there are several cellar rooms as well as the usable horse stable. The upper floors are reached via a relatively simple staircase. On each floor, the staircase leads into a hall-like central corridor. This corridor leads to the large rooms, some with beautiful wooden Riemling ceilings. On the second upper floor, the cut-off remains of a star-ribbed vault have been preserved in the corridor, which is vaulted with a spire. There was probably once a chapel with a polygonal apse here.
