A 326 km round trip from Brloh - roughly 5 h 46 in the saddle. It goes by way of Oberranna - Kleinkastell, Künzing - Amphitheater und Vicus and back through Oberranna - Kleinkastell. It crosses Czechia, Austria and Germany - carry ID and check vignette or toll rules. It was put together for the scenery rather than the shortest line.
Holašovice looks like a village painted from memory by someone who loved it. A long rectangular green sits in the middle, with a pond and a small chapel, and around it stand more than twenty farmhouses with gabled fronts in rich, ornate plasterwork, some in white and pale yellow and some in soft blue. The style is called folk Baroque, or peasant Baroque, and the houses were mostly built in the nineteenth century, when wealthy farmers dressed their gables in a local version of the grand style of the cities. It has been on the UNESCO list since 1998.

Holašovice Historic Village is where the day begins. Next is Oberranna - Kleinkastell.
The Danube between Passau and Linz is one of the loveliest stretches of the whole river, and near Oberranna, on the Upper Austrian bank, it flows quietly between steep wooded slopes, dark and almost gorge-like. Here, beside the water, archaeologists found a small Roman fort, a Kleinkastell, part of the Danube Limes that guarded the northern frontier of the province of Noricum. Its remains are now protected under a modern shelter, and it forms part of the UNESCO listing of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire along the Danube.

Oberranna - Kleinkastell comes up about 100 km into the recorded legs. Next is Künzing - Amphitheater und Vicus.
Künzing sits on the Danube in Lower Bavaria, in a broad, fertile plain known as the Gäuboden, and in Roman times it was a place with a name, Quintana. The Romans built a fort here in the second century, one of the posts on the river frontier of the province of Raetia, and a civilian settlement, a vicus, grew up beside it, with houses, workshops and even an amphitheatre. The Danube Limes in Germany, Austria and Slovakia was listed by UNESCO in 2021, and Künzing is one of the places where it is easiest to grasp what daily life along the frontier was like.
