Frauendorf an der Au offers several starting points for planning your trip: the Frauendorf swimming pond, the cycling Garden Tour and the Chapel of St. Leonhard. These offer three different focuses—swimming, cycling and a cultural-historical look at a protected building. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, choosing among these interests can be a first step: consider what you want your stay to revolve around rather than assuming a particular combination. The questions to consider beforehand also differ: for a cycling tour, think about the route length and type of bicycle; at the pond, check the swimming rules and access information; and at the chapel, consider its heritage protection status. This lets you choose a starting point that suits your interests without committing to a set daily itinerary.
Cycling: Route and landscape
A municipal description from 2022 lists the Garden Tour cycling route as a 37-kilometre discovery tour. This gives you a concrete idea of the scale of the cycling trip; you can weigh up whether the tour should be the main focus of a day or be combined with other interests. Route details may change, so check the latest tour information before setting off. For the Garden Tour, the signs lead through fields and meadows to Frauendorf an der Au; near Frauendorf, the route reaches the outskirts of the Danube wetlands. A touring bike or city bike is recommended for this Garden Tour because some sections are not fully paved. The signs provide directional guidance, while the information about the surface can help you choose a bicycle.
Frauendorf swimming pond: Rules and access
Swimming rules are posted at several points around the Frauendorf swimming pond and must be followed. As the rules may be revised, check the posted notices before swimming. Having notices in several places gives you multiple points of reference around the pond. A municipal notice dated 27 June 2025 describes a key system that was new at the time and locked, with keys that cannot be copied. Access arrangements may also change, so check the latest access information before visiting. These are two separate points to consider when planning: the rules to follow while swimming, and which access information is currently in effect. If the pond is to be the main focus of your stay, take both into account as you prepare for your trip.
Chapel of St. Leonhard
The Chapel of St. Leonhard in Frauendorf an der Au is protected as a historic monument under an ordinance. The Federal Monuments Authority entry dated 23 June 2026 records this protected status. For travellers interested in culture, the chapel is a point of interest in its own right, in addition to activities at the pond and on the cycling route. The chapel’s heritage protection status, swimming and cycling offer different ways to include the village in your travel plans; the chapel adds a cultural-historical theme to your stay.
