On this stage you mainly walk through quiet and shady wooded areas, away from hustle and bustle. Enjoy the great view of the Danube valley and the Nibelungengau.
The tour starts at the waterfront in Persenbeug and leads downstream via Hagsdorf and Gottsdorf. After Metzling the way leads up into the wood. Now you pass a stone pit and follow the forest road uphill through the wood. At the highest point the way leads down through the wood to the village. You pass the port and walk to the landing-stage in Marbach.
The Nibelungengau long distance trail is split up into 8 stages and can be passed through in both directions. Signs along the way will help you to find the right direction.
Author’s recommendation
The lake in Persenbeug-Gottsdorf is a good place for a refreshing dip on hot summer days. It is nice to stroll along the waterfront in Persenbeug and Marbach.
