Follow the R26 signs and the “Obermühl” signpost, passing the Prechtl sawmill, the Schweitzer sawmill, and the former paper mill. You have now reached... **21.7 km Obermühl**. From here, there are two options for continuing your bike tour: Follow the signs for the Danube Cycle Path R1. Keep left and ride through the town. **Option 1:** Here, you’ll ride along the Danube Cycle Path on the left bank to Exlau, Untermühl. **37.3 km** In **Untermühl** , you **have** the option of taking a ferry to “bypass” the missing section of the bike path. Call the **[ferry (Untermühl-Kaiserhof-Bremsberg](https://www.donauregion.at/camping/oesterreich-poi/detail/430025230/quer-und-laengsfaehre-kaiserhof-untermuehl-bremsberg.html)** ) using the call button.
