Today we went to Weltenburg Monastery in beautiful sunshine and with a bright blue sky.

In the museum, alone with my wife, we learned a lot of interesting things about the monastery, the Benedictines and their monastic life. (highly recommended)

We had a delicious cake and a beer in the monastery garden.

August 1, 2023,🚲 Kelheim - Abensberg - Kloster Weltenburg

We started this tour from the car parks at the sports fields of Kelheim. Because it was still raining (the app said it would stop at 3 o'clock) we first visited Kelheim town before we started the actual cycling route.
The first part ran over the dike of the Altmühl, then we drove over the Danube. From here we followed …

Since almost exactly 1 year ago the planned Komootler meeting with a visit to the Abensberg Tower Christmas (Kuchlbauer), St. Nicholas Market and Hüttenzauber unfortunately had to be cancelled spontaneously due to the risk of black ice and I was therefore strolling alone through the fairytale and light city in the magic of Advent, this time it finally worked and …

Unfortunately, this tour wasn't a particular highlight. 80% of the route is a cycle path, but the landscape is mostly quite monotonous.
The Weltenburg monastery is, in our opinion, quite nice, but it was very overcrowded. We recommend a hike from Kelheim on the left side of the Danube. There is a wonderful viewpoint above the monastery and the Danube. …

Today we cycled from our hotel in Bad Gögging to Weltenburg Monastery and – thanks to your tip, Bahnpeter – took the official cycle path instead of the overgrown path along the Danube bank. Weltenburg Monastery is beautifully situated – a visit to the church is a must. It's simply fantastic inside – pause and give thanks for so much …

August 9, 2025,Donau 2025 Tag 9: Neustadt - Weltenburg - Kelheim - Abensberg - Neustadt

To ease the long journey home from the lower reaches of the Danube, we made a stopover in Neustadt an der Donau. We used this time to take a lovely tour along the upper reaches of the Danube. The tour led from Neustadt via Einig and Weltenburg to Kelheim.
