Travel destinations are Weltenburg Abbey, Kelheim, Regensburg, Eltz Castle, Düsseldorf and the Baltic Sea resort of Warnemünde.

On the Danube - Weltenburg to Regensburg

The Danube River flows 600 kilometers though southern Germany. One of its most beautiful stretches in Bavaria passes Weltenburg Abbey, spectular rock formations and Regensburg's UNESCO World Heritage sites.

The journey begins at St. George's Abbey in Weltenburg. Bavaria's oldest monastery is famous for its beer. Our next stop is Kelheim, an ideal base for cyclists and hikers.

Regensburg

Our tour down the Danube ends at the stone bridge in Regensburg, whose old town has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2006. Among the highlights is the Wurstkuchl historic sausage kitchen dating back to the 14th century and the Gothic cathedral.

Regensburg - Three Travel Tips

Dominik Preisner is one of Germany's best wakeskaters. He recommends visits to Jahninsel, the Maidult Bavarian volksfest and mountain biking along the Danube.

Eltz Castle - A Medieval Fortress

Eltz castle rises fairytale-style from the rocks towering over a tributary of the Moselle River. Owned by the same family for over 850 years, it is one of Germany's most beautiful medieval castles and among the very few never to have been destroyed.

Warnemünde - Stand Up Paddling on the Baltic

Stand-up paddleboarding is catching on in Germany. It's a great way to explore stiller waters like rivers and lakes. Paddlers stand upright on a surf board, and use a long paddle to move about. We pay a visit to a course for beginners in the seaside resort of Warnemünde.
