Rest area with access to Donauinsel Windorf

Highlight • Rest Area

From here you can take a short detour to the Donauinsel Windorf, Germany's longest river island. It is a designated conservation area and here it is just beautiful. Incidentally, you'll be tuned in here to the theme of "beer" when you cycle through the "beer gate" that spans the bike path here. This "triumphal arch" made of beer crates reminds of the intensive beer history of Vilshofen - among other things, the resident Groll brewery produced the inventor of the beer, Josef Groll. But he did not develop that here, but in the Czech Pilsen.

August 15, 2022,2022 Radtour, Vils- und Donauradweg, Tag 6: Landau - Passau

Unfortunately, Komoot tricked me and swallowed the recording from Landau to Vilshofen... It was 44 km, a nice route on the Vilsradweg, which we switched to shortly after Landau. It went through small villages, on dirt roads and sparse floodplain forest. After Vilshofen, where we feasted on good Bavarian white sausages with pretzels and mustard, we cycled the last few …

Of course, we drove back to the RV parking space...the phone battery ran out at some point, so we're probably missing about 5 kilometers...

March 3, 2022,Ice-Tour 😋

Was originally supposed to be a slightly larger, more strenuous tour today. But got off a bit too late.
Shortly before Vilshofen there was a spontaneous change of plan and I was magically drawn back to the only ice cream parlor I knew in the whole area, "Cappuccini". I needed Ice🍦. Immediately 🤣👍.

Tour from the Vilshofen RV park to Passau and back. A pleasant drive along the Danube. Passau is very beautiful, a city whose historic buildings make it feel a bit like a movie set. St. Stephen's Cathedral is the absolute highlight. We simply strolled around, enjoyed the day, and had a delicious meal at the Ratskeller. A truly lovely vacation …

When, for the first time in two weeks, the ☀️ really shines from the sky out of the dreary permanent gray...
... well then that invites you to take a little river bike tour to Vilshofen.
Since I had to warm myself up again with a cup of Cappu, I went back the same way, contrary to plan, quite unspectacularly. …
