driving along Danube between Melk and Enns

We will be visiting Austria in October and will spend a day driving from Melk to the Mauthausen Memorial, then Enns, and finally Linz (where we anticipate returning the rental car).

Is anyone familiar with Route 3 between Melk and Mauthausen, and are there any particular sights or stops you would recommend along the way? I have seen the many wonderful recommendations between Krems and Melk in the Wachau Valley, but we are interested in the section of river just west of there.

Thank you!

We stopped at Cafe-Konditorei Schörgi in Grein. Nice view from the terrace. There is also Schloß Greinburg there that we did not visit. Nearby, but again never visited is Burg Clam. Not on your route, but we overnighted in Aschach an der Donau on the way home. I remember smelling the Steel Mill in Linz. Reminded me of Cleveland, OH years ago.
