A short walk through the medieval town leads us past historic houses and the monastery complex. Unfortunately, there is construction work around the monastery and

A long stretch beautifully through the Auenwald. Short loop through Lauingen with town hall and Schimmelturm.
In Gundelfingen we drove a bit foolishly and unfortunately missed out on seeing anything of the town.
A whole series of green lakes lines the following route, surely formed from old Danube arms

Initially, the temperature is quite okay. The path leads close along the Danube through a lonely, very beautiful area where new floodplains have been created and vibrant biotopes have emerged. The Riedelsheim flood polder is intended to protect against high water in the future. The further part is characterized

After yesterday's thunderstorm, it is still raining or drizzling. We are waiting for better weather, but it is not coming, so we set off in a light rain after all. It is also a bit cooler, so you don't immediately overheat in your rain jacket. It soon stops raining and in the sun it becomes muggy again

At the tourist office, we find out there are alternatives: the traditional small wooden fishing boats, the Zillen, can also travel with low water levels. But they start

In Regensburg, the Danube reaches its northernmost point. The city has an incredible amount to offer. Almost nothing was destroyed here, and no unsuitable new buildings were erected in the entire old town. Everything is a bit bigger than Straubing, but there are also small alleys. A look into history

Today 33 degrees! That's why we're starting to cycle (for our standards) early (half past seven). Out of Passau, it goes a bit criss-cross. We cross the Danube and ride along the northern bank. There are 6 km of gravel path, annoying to ride. But afterwards, it's nice through the fields. We only see

Right along the Danube through floodplain forest and riverside forest, past the mouth of the Iller. More often now there are islands in the river or a power plant canal and a second river arm. Particularly beautiful is the stretch through the Gronne and Lichternsee nature reserves with lots of wild landscape
