Osterwaal - A short detour to the Maria Hilf Chapel near Osterwaal, dreamily situated in a forest clearing, is our tip for this day. The origins of the “Maria Hilf” chapel go back to 1814, when grateful parents had an image of the Virgin Mary set up for the inexplicable healing of their sick child and often prayed in front of it. Word of the miraculous healing quickly spread, and soon many people seeking help came to pray in front of the beech tree with the image of the Virgin Mary. In 1875, a simple little chapel was built next to the beech tree.

Donaudurchbruch - From Kelheim, part of the route to Weltenburg Monastery can be covered by boat across the Danube (boat trip for a fee, payable on site). This boat trip is one of the most beautiful excursion destinations in Bavaria and leads through the “Weltenburger Enge” nature reserve with the impressive Danube Gorge. In 2020, it was awarded the title of “First National Natural Monument in Bavaria”.
Kloster Weltenburg - Weltenburg Monastery was founded around the year 600 by wandering monks, making it the oldest monastic settlement in Bavaria. Around 800, the abbey adopted the rule of Saint Benedict. The Weltenburg Monastery Brewery looks back on an eventful, centuries-long history and can proudly call itself the oldest monastery brewery in the world. And in the associated beer garden, you can enjoy one of the award-winning house beers.
Kastell Abusina am Limes - Just before Bas Gögging is the Roman fort in Eining, a former cohort fort and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Limes. It is open to visitors free of charge at any time as an open-air museum.
