Look forward to the Bavarian section of the Danube and follow the young river on a very well-developed cycle path. You will pass the mouths of many tributaries with magnificent wetlands and a rich flora and fauna. Marvel at a very special natural spectacle: between Weltenburg and Kelheim, the Danube pushes its way through high rock faces and thus through the Danube Gorge. Look forward to a breathtaking boat trip through the Danube Gorge. On your way through Bavaria, the Danube takes you to many interesting royal cities with historic town centres. Magnificent Baroque and Renaissance buildings as well as cosy beer gardens await your visit.

This trip is perfect for:

  • River fans: cycle along the Danube on your journey.
  • City lovers: Be enchanted by the small towns along the route.
  • Culture seekers: Your cultural well-being will also be catered for on this trip.

Highlights

Town Hall and St. Mary's Fountain Donauwörth
The neo-Gothic St. Mary's Fountain in front of the town hall was cast by the town council in 1854 at a cost of 1,550 gulden.

Cross Gate Ingolstadt
The most beautiful of all preserved gates leads into the city from the west: the Cross Gate in Ingolstadt.

Weltenburg Monastery
Weltenburg Monastery is situated at the entrance to the romantic Danube breakthrough. It was founded by the Iro-Scottish-Columbian wandering monks Eustasius and Agilus from Luxeuil (Burgundy) around the year 600 and is thus the oldest monastic settlement in Bavaria.

Regensburg Cathedral
Regensburg's St. Peter's Cathedral is one of the most important Gothic achievements in Bavaria.

St. Stephen's Cathedral Passau
St. Stephen's Cathedral in Passau is the mother church of the Danube East. As early as around the year 450, a church is attested in the late antique city of Batavis.

Three Rivers Corner Passau
At the foot of Niederhaus Castle, viewed downstream, the Ilz flows into the Danube from the left, followed shortly afterwards by the Inn from the right. The water of the Inn, which comes from the Alps, is green, that of the Danube is blue, and that of the Ilz, which comes from a moorland area, is black, so that the Danube has three water colours (green/blue/black) for a long stretch after the confluence. The confluence of the three rivers is called the Three Rivers Corner.

Tour

Look forward to the Bavarian-Swabian pearl of the Danube on the Romantic Road and a romantic stroll through the former Free Imperial City, whose town houses proudly display their decorative gables.

Marvel at Bertoldsheim Castle and Stepperg Castle. The highlight of the day is Neuburg, where the most beautiful Renaissance castle on the Danube awaits your visit. Afterwards you cycle through large wooded areas to Ingolstadt, where the old town with its medieval city wall beckons.

Today, follow the Danube Cycle Path to Neustadt and continue through hop fields to Bad Gögging. The town actively cultivates its ancient traditions and offers numerous wellness options with its natural moor, sulphur and mineral thermal waters. Abensberg attracts visitors with its charmingly renovated historic old town. Don't miss the beer garden at the Kuchlbauer Brewery with its impressive Hundertwasser Tower!
If you are staying overnight in Kelheim, take a boat trip through the beautiful Danube Gorge and then cycle to your destination for the day.

If you stayed overnight in Abensberg, cycle to Weltenburg Abbey. Marvel at the Benedictine abbey, one of the most beautiful monasteries in Bavaria, and sample the local specialities in the abbey's own beer garden. A special natural spectacle awaits you on the boat trip through the Danube Gorge - a truly unique experience.
If you stayed overnight in Kelheim, start today's cycling stage directly towards Regensburg.
Your destination today is Regensburg, probably the best-preserved German city, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site! The city on the Danube enchants with its medieval old town, magnificent patrician houses and the famous Stone Bridge.

Look forward to a rest in Donaustauf and visit the Valhalla, a replica of the Pantheon. Roll leisurely through the wide Danube plain past Wörth Castle to Straubing with its striking city tower.

Today you cycle through Bogen, which gained fame because of its pregnant Madonna found in 1104. Afterwards, you cycle leisurely to the Benedictine Abbey of Metten before reaching Deggendorf, the gateway to the Bavarian Forest. Look forward to a city tour, as Gothic and Baroque characterise the beautiful old town.

On your last cycling stage, you will be amazed by Niederaltaich Monastery, which has been in flames 13 times over the course of time, and the three-river city of Passau. On a boat trip across the Danube, Inn and Ilz, you will discover the city from many sides. What a wonderful finale!

Perhaps you will have time for a stroll through the old town today to visit the cathedral with the largest church organ in the world. Your cycling tour ends after breakfast at the hotel.
