Ybbs an der Donau

The Danube defines the setting of Ybbs an der Donau — the broad riverbank and the nearby mouth of the Ybbs give this Lower Austrian town a distinctly waterside character. Ybbs developed as a Danube market and river port, and its historic centre retains the scale of a compact old town rather than a riverside resort. Just upstream, the Ybbs-Persenbeug power station represents an important chapter in Austrian engineering as the country’s first major hydroelectric plant on the Danube. The Danube Cycle Path also passes through the area, bringing long-distance cyclists to its riverfront.
