Kloster Weltenburg

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

You really have to visit Kloster Weltenburg.
From Kelheim you can go there by Ship or if you like to walk there are some nice paths through the forests of the Donau Durchbruch. Walking takes about 1 1/2 hours if you are really slow...
Then you have to get over the Danube with a Fähre which is really nice.
If you are inside the Kloser take a look at the Adams Kirche (church). It is one of the most beautiful gothic curches in this area.
After this you can relax in the Biergarten, where the best beer (I know what I'm saying, I'm bavarian) is served - the Kloster Dunkel (don't be surprised, it's dark)
By the way The Kloster Weltenburg brewery is the oldest brewery in the world!

Kelheim

Kelheim looks to be a lovely little town hugging the banks of the Danube. Especially pretty in the fall as shown here with the leaves changing. This was one of the few days that we saw any sun in Germany.

Befreiungshalle

The thing up on the hill--at first glance it looks like some sort of Bavarian watertower. However, in actuality it is a monument built by King Ludwig the first to honor the victories in the Napoleanic wars. The place is called Befeiungshalle. Literally it translates as "release hall" but I suspect it would be better thought of as a liberty hall.

during the walking we constantly saw this building, so we had to go to it to see what it was: the befreiungshalle. Very impressive, the big sculptures on and in this monument

Befreiungshalle

King Ludwig I might not have been as self-indulgent as his son Ludwig II, but this monument seems to shout "Hey look at us Bavarians aren't we great!"
