Open from 5 p.m. in good weather. Although Tuesdays are rest days, the landlord still welcomed and served us kindly. And there was also a small menu. The Donaugarten is simply a recommendation.

The Befreiungshalle (Hall of Liberation) on the Michelsberg in Kelheim is one of Germany's most impressive monuments. It sits majestically above the Danube and is visible from afar. King Ludwig I of Bavaria commissioned the construction to commemorate the victories against Napoleon during the Wars of Liberation (1813–1815). It was a project of national pride intended to celebrate the unity of the German tribes (after the end of the Confederation of the Rhine).
