View of Weltenburg Abbey

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a great view over the Danube to the monastery. On the way to the ferry there is a great view around the monastery, which makes a detour here worth it.

A must, the Weltenburg monastery with the Danube narrows. Both the E8 on the ridge and the AMP path largely on the banks of the Danube are mainly wide, high-performance hiking trails. Not a problem because of the scenic highlights, but necessary because of the "traffic".
