Hi Zenny!
Thank you very much for your interest!
That place is called "Schlögener Schlinge" in Upper Austria: In Schlögen, the Danube river forms a sling.
Coming from the west, the Danube forms a first horseshoe bend of 180 degrees, as seen in the photograph.
It then forms another horseshoe bend back towards the east
(if you look closely at the right of the picture, you can see the turning point of another sling)
Here's a satellite image:

There are tons of (for me) boring pictures of the sling ...
mostly of the same famous viewpoint...
Here's one ... http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schl%C3%B6gener_Schlinge
So I went there multiple times (I guess about 5 times with large format) to get a photograph which I would be satisfied with ...
It was hard to get the exposure / grad filtering right,
as I was starting with analog / large format in March 2011,
so I got ill exposed photographs multiple times
(one time too dark overall, another time blown out sky, other times the sunset/clouds did not work for me, ...)
What I remember, that was two neutral density grad filters stacked, a hard 0,3 and a soft 0,2!
Regarding post processing: I decided to darken the trees in the foreground,
otherwise postprocessing is only color corrections and further contrast regulation...
Best regards and sorry for my bad English ;-)

BTW, when I checked your picture and the one here (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._Schloegen.jpg), the shadow confused me.
The wikipedia picture was taken when the Sun is behind/or on the slight left of the photographer. But when you took, the sun is opposite to you. However, when you check the shadows of the mountains, both looks similar. Or they are reflections? Did I miss something?
Your picture of Icicles at Vorderer Gosausee, Dachstein Mountain View is also mind blowing! I love tyour two pictures! :-D
