And that's where the fun begins: we go from one banked turn to the next and would love to ride the Schnellberg again, but there are so many other pleasures waiting for us. The route takes us via Maria Schmolln and Höhnhart and we enjoy both the marvellous road layout and the rural, rustic region that accompanies us into the Innkreis. It's great fun jetting along the low-traffic side roads and amusing ourselves with place names such as einfach Dorf, Ober- und Hinterweintal or Oberfucking. Schärding offers the first excellent opportunity for a stop. The town, also known as the "Baroque jewel" on the Inn, impresses with its impressive town square. It's also easy to find a cosy spot there to enjoy a bite to eat. Important for the physical, but above all for the mental well-being is the further enjoyable curve chase on the Sauwaldstraße via Münzkirchen to Vichtenstein. The driving pleasure continues unabated and keeps the joy permanently high on the Sauwald panoramic road that starts here. Numerous viewpoints tempt you to make short stops and enhance the experience even more. One special feature definitely deserves an extra stop - the Etzinger Pyramid. It forms the end point of the "My path to the ME" hiking trail, where hikers are given the opportunity to find themselves and experience the harmony of nature through NATURESPONSE® nature feedback exercises. Inside the pyramid, there is also the option to relax with auditory meditation exercises. We all agree that the best way to relax is on the bike, winding round bends and at an angle, so we set off again in the direction of the Danube. Via Haibach, we stalk down from the Danube heights on a winding path to the river and cross it with the ferry to Obermühl. On the left bank of the Danube, we head back up to higher ground, guided by the curious signpost to "Hühnergeschrei" and after a short ride we reach the village with the funny name, which otherwise has nothing really interesting to offer. We continue through Altenfelden and take the Partensteiner Bezirksstraße to make our way back down to the Danube. But not for long - shortly after we have crossed the "Große Mühl", a tributary of the Danube, we head back up again. We reach Sankt Martin im Mühlkreis via Plöcking and Dunzendorf. Shortly afterwards, around Unterhart, we enter "hot cobblestones" - we are on the section of the L1507, which is normally used as a hill climb route once a year for around four kilometres - but in the opposite direction to the one we are using. We are also not travelling at racing speed, but clearly reach Landshaag within the legal speed range! The "jump" over the Danube takes us to Aschach and then along the river of the same name via Dunzing, Kropfleiten and Purgstall to Waizenkirchen. The route leads us through a densely wooded region on good tarmac and alternately wide and narrow roads to Neumarkt im Hausruckkreis and quickly on towards Taiskirchen im Innkreis. This time we bypass the district capital of Ried im Innkreis and wind our way back towards the Kobernaußerwald on beautiful motorbike roads. Via Klafterreith, Obereck and Höh we wind our way back to Mattighofen, where we arrive via Stallhofen and take the opportunity to make our last short stop at the KTM headquarters on the street of the same name. Just a few metres further on, we reach the Motohall again and can look back on a beautiful and eventful day of riding.
