Maximilians Bridge Deggendorf

Highlight • Bridge

On the Danube there are great paths for biking and hiking. The landscape in this area is simply fantastic and always worth a visit.

Here at this point near the Danube and the old river crossing (ford) there was a village of the Celts about 2000 years ago. The settlement later came into the possession of the Niedermünster nunnery in Regensburg.
In the past, three smaller Romanesque church buildings stood on the site of today's parish church.

Metten Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

Metten Monastery is one of the original Bavarian monasteries and was founded around the year 766. In addition to the well-known baroque monastery library, the abbey church is also worth seeing. The building from the Carolingian era was followed by a Gothic hall church in the 15th century. The choir has been preserved from her. From 1712 to 1729 the church was redesigned in Baroque style under Abbot Roman II Märkl according to plans by Jakob Ruesch. The interior was stuccoed in 1722 by Franz Josef Holzinger. Wolfgang Andreas Heindl created the frescoes for the vestibule and the nave. The high altar by Jakob Schöpf from 1713 has a painting by Cosmas Damian Asam showing the Archangel Michael (around 1715). Asam also made the picture of the rosary altar (around 1726 to 1730).

The six-span steel truss bridge was built from 2011 to 2013 and opened in 2014.

In 2016 it received the German Bridge Construction Prize in the foot and cycle path bridges category. With a total length of 456 meters, it is one of the longest pedestrian and cycle path bridges in Europe.
