Danube Gorge Weltenburg

Highlight • Gorge

When you are here, it is actually mandatory program to travel through the Weltenburger Enge with the excursion boat and to marvel at it powerfully. The impressive rock faces with such illustrious names as Räuberfelsen, Bavarian Lion and Napoleon's suitcase are absolutely worth seeing. By the way, also for cyclists: Instead of using a bike, it is worthwhile to enjoy the section from Weltenburg to Kehlheim by boat.

Weltenburg Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

Weltenburg Abbey dates back to its founding around the year 600, and Benedictine monks still live here today. In the historic rock cellar, you can learn all about the abbey's exciting history.

If you want to delve even deeper into the monastery, you should take part in one of the very informative guided tours. However, you must register for this ten days in advance.

The culmination of your visit to the monastery is a stop at the monastery tavern. A special delicacy is the self-brewed beer, Welternburger Barock Dunkel.

All information about the monastery and the tavern can be found at kloster-weltenburg.de and klosterschenke-weltenburg.de.
