The city of Vilshofen on the Danube lies on the edge of the southern Bavarian Forest, where Vils and Wolfach flow into the Danube. The old town rises narrowly built, directly to the water, on a sharp headland between the Danube and the Vils and shows itself from the opposite bank to the visitor like an island floating on the river. Above it towers the imposing twin-towered monastery of the Benedictine Abbey Schweiklberg.

In Vilshofen on the Danube, the small three-river town, the visitor will find culinary delights and many sights
