More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the van and the river announces itself first — the Danube cutting a silver arc through forested slopes, daring you to look over the cliff edge. The air tastes faintly of wood smoke and resin; the forest around the bobsled track hums with birdsong while the castle perches above like a guardian watching the bend.
