Öberauer Donauschleife, Protected area along the Danube River in Kirchroth, Germany
The Öberauer Donauschleife extends over 290 hectares, featuring a distinct river bend with diverse wetland habitats and extensive meadows along the waterway.
In 1986, the Lower Bavaria government designated this section of the Danube as a nature reserve, following the construction of the Straubing dam.
The reserve forms part of the Natura 2000 network, representing the traditional Bavarian approach to preserving natural river landscapes and their ecosystems.
Visitors can access a 10.3-kilometer hiking trail with minimal elevation change, starting from the parking area between Straubinger Staustufe and Öberau.
The area serves as a critical nesting and resting ground for threatened wading birds and waterfowl within the Bavarian Forest region.
