BruceDunning Says: This monument was intended to replicate some of the style of Italian/Roman monuments of the MIddle Ages. It was to look somewhat like the Pantheon, but also have inside symbols like the Parthenon. Well, this monument surpasses both in some regards. It has a large dome that...

zrim Says: 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.

We went with the sightseeing boat over the Donau, from Kelheim to the abbey of Weltenburg, the oldest abbey of Beieren. The way back we were walking. A smaller boat helped us to get to the other side of the river the Donau, and from there we folled the walking route back to Kelheim. Through the woods and along the river. It was a very hot day in July, and the kids saw many people bathing and floating in the water. In their underwear they went swimming in the Donau. It was very nice!!
