After a one-hour drive through the largest hop-growing area, we reach Kelheim in Lower Bavaria, right at the confluence of the Danube and Altmühl rivers. During a short stroll through the historic old town, you can take a little refreshment at the Schneider Weisse brewery restaurant. Due to the war, the traditional wheat beer brewery was relocated from Munich to the Danube. Through the Danube Gate from the 13th century, we reach the landing stages with a magnificent view of the Liberation Hall.

With one of the comfortable liners we embark on a 50-minute journey through what is probably the most beautiful river landscape in Germany - the Danube Gorge in the Weltenburger Enge nature reserve. On the way you will learn interesting and spectacular things about this unique natural landscape! Fare Kelheim - Weltenburg and back: approx. € 12.50 (reduction for families)

Take a seat in the idyllic beer garden of the Brauereigasthof Schneider directly on the Altmühl. 6 different, naturally cloudy types of beer await you directly from the in-house family brewery. In addition, a fine snack or a tasty menu - lovingly prepared from local and seasonal products by the chef Johannes Schneider. But if you just want to have a coffee / tea and try some of the homemade cakes, you've come to the right place!

After a few minutes' drive we reach a reconstructed Roman watchtower. The 550-kilometer-long Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes began on the banks of the Danube at Hienheim, and you can easily see its course in the fields. With a small cable ferry we drive to the southern bank of the Danube without motor power and only driven by the current.

The Roman fort Eining (Latin: Abusina) was founded around 80 AD and was a Roman military camp whose crew was responsible for security and surveillance tasks on the Limes. It is part of the Rhaetian Limes, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of the few completely exposed fortifications on this section of the border that have been reconstructed in their foundation walls.

The combination of wheat beer brewery and extravagant architecture by the world-famous architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser make a stop at the Kuchlbauer in Abensberg essential, even for non-beer lovers.

The "Kunsthaus Abensberg" with the famous "Leaning Tower" is also located on the brewery area - you will not be able to stop being amazed! Brewery tours are possible; from € 13.50 per adult
