Here the path leads directly along the banks of the Danube and you have an insight into a largely untouched meadow landscape with its unique flora and fauna.

May 18, 2023,DRW Etappe 6 Ingolstadt- Affecking/Kelheim
Started in Ingolstadt today and mostly drove along the banks of the Danube to Weltenburg Monastery. From there by ship through the Danube Gorge to Kehlheim. Kelheim has a beautiful downtown area, and once you're in Kelheim, climbing the mountain and seeing the Liberation Hall is a must. I also took the 165 steps up the tower with me. The …

Today's tour began with a very beautiful boat trip on the Danube to Weltenburg. We had already taken the boat here in 2019 and enjoyed it as a welcome change. We found the Danube Cycle Path to Ingolstadt to be so-so.
We were happy to return to Ingolstadt, though.

First change at Großmehring on the St2335 over a narrow foot and bike path, not so great to drive. At the end a gravel descent. Continue along the Danube to the next bridge - change sides to Oberdünzing. The next …
