history

The historical term Hößgang describes the path along the right bank of the Danube on the Strudengau between Ardagger and Ybbs on the Danube , which was previously used for towing and was difficult to access from the south. In the village of Hößgang he could be left in the direction of Neustadtl. This site was previously secured by the Hößgang (or Mitter-Lueg) castle, which first appeared in the Wallseer Urbar in 1449, but is now only present as a field of rubble. In the 18th century there was a lime distillery here, which burned the limestone debris transported from the Danube into masonry lime, and several timber merchants. With the advent of motorized shipping and the relocation of goods traffic to the Western Railway , the Hößgang lost its importance.

With the construction of the Ybbs-Persenbeug power plant, and especially in the 1970s, the place, also located on an oxbow lake south of the island of Wörth , was rediscovered for recreational purposes and redeveloped in a wave of settlement. Today the place can be reached via a road branching off at the Danube bridge Grein and from the south via Neustadtl. The section between Hößgang and Freyenstein, on the other hand, is only approved for pedestrians and bicycles.
