Aschach on the Danube: landing stage and access

Landing stage at Kirchenplatz

Aschach lies on the right bank of the Danube in Upper Austria. The landing stage is at Kirchenplatz, with the parish church and town centre immediately behind it. The regional tourism site describes a pontoon beside the Danube Cycle Path. Which ship uses the stage can vary by itinerary; the cruise operator’s berth details determine the exact arrival point.

Eferding is the relevant passenger railway station in the area. Linzer Lokalbahn serves Eferding on routes toward Linz and Peuerbach or Neumarkt; there is no passenger rail connection to Aschach. In 2021, Upper Austria described a proposed extension of the S5 from Eferding to Aschach as a long-term goal, while the Aschacherbahn was treated as a freight line. This was a long-term plan, not a current passenger service.

Bus and regional connections

The Upper Austrian transport authority’s timetable effective from 11 October 2026 lists the stops Aschach/Donau Kirchenplatz and Aschach/Donau Friedhof, with services via Eferding’s Schulzentrum bus terminal toward Linz. Check the current timetable for the travel date. Linz Airport is also in the region; onward travel to Aschach needs to be planned separately.
