The Abens The Abens is a river in Upper and Lower Bavaria. It rises at Bruchholz between Dürnzhausen in the northwest and Sünzhausen in the southeast, in the district of Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm. The Roman fort of Eining took its name, Abusina, from the nearby Abens. The origin of this river name is unclear. The first element could be derived from the Indo-European word "abā" (water). Other sources suggest that the river name in Celtic was "Abusā" and that the ending -ina initially referred only to the fort. In its upper reaches, the Abens flows through the Hallertau, a hilly region characterized by hop cultivation. From its source between Dürnzhausen and Sünzhausen, the river initially flows eastward, then northeastward, crossing the border into the district of Freising after just over a kilometer. The Abens River then passes through the villages of Abens, Hirnkirchen, Seysdorf, and Halsberg before reaching the market town of Au in the Hallertau region. There, it turns north and runs largely parallel to Federal Highway 301 until Abensberg. The river then passes through the villages of Enzelhausen and Rudelzhausen before reaching the border with the district of Kelheim and thus Lower Bavaria. From there, it continues northward to the small town of Mainburg. From this point, the Abens meanders northward before passing under Federal Highway 93. It then flows on to the market town of Siegenburg, which it skirts to the west. Finally, the river reaches Biburg with its noteworthy Romanesque church and then passes Frauenberg hill with the equally impressive Baroque pilgrimage church of Allersdorf. Around this point, the valley opens into a wide plain that slopes gently westward toward the Danube. The river then turns west at the level of the small town of Abensberg and reaches the spa town of Bad Gögging. West of Bad Gögging, the river turns north again and merges with the Ilm, which runs parallel to the Danube and is of roughly the same size. Both rivers carry an average flow of approximately 3.2 m³/s of water at this point. The original mouth of the Abens into the Danube was likely located approximately here. However, as a result of artificial regulation measures in the 1920s, the mouth was moved about three kilometers north. The Abens now flows into the Danube after approximately 71.1 km, west of the village of Eining. Source: Excerpts from www.wikipedia.de

It's a beautiful place.

Don't jump in but nature is just great

Beautiful church

The dunes in the Seeholz of Offenstetten are a significant geotope In the Seeholz between Abensberg and Offenstetten, on high terrace gravel (Altaben's terrace), there are remains of an extensive dune landscape from the late to postglacial period. The geomorphological wealth of forms has been preserved under the forest cover (in contrast to agricultural areas). The dunes are mainly formed as line dunes directed W-E, but there are also transverse and sickle dunes. Towards the W, the relief forms flatten out to form gently undulating drifting sand covers. The geotope has been awarded the seal of approval "Bavaria's 100 most beautiful geotopes" and is explained on site with an information board.
