The 37-kilometre tour is well worth it. In Aschach, town houses from the Middle Ages and facades in the colours of the rainbow tell of the life of the burghers, boatmen and shoppers. In the Schopper and Fishermen's Museum you can learn more about the extinct Schopper craft or the development of fishing. The Danube market Aschach with its famous row of houses and the promenade is always worth a visit. **Tip:** Get ice cream from the **[Weltzer confectionery](https://www.donauregion.at/en/oesterreich-gastronomie/detail/101607/konditorei-cafe-weltzer.html "Link öffnet sich in neuem Fenster")** and enjoy it on the promenade.
