You will see the Altmühltor, the Donautor and the Mittertor, all of which were built in the middle of the 13th century.

In front of the Altmühltor there was a spacious gatehouse, which was demolished in May 1875. This created a spacious space between the gate and the former bridge over the Altmühl. The Mittertor is the western entrance gate to Kelheim's old town and part of the former city fortifications. On its north side, the Donautor bears the first city coat of arms with the city gate and the Bavarian Wecken and, like the Altmühl- and Donautor, allows entry into the old town.

From the 15th century, the Donautor was the seat of the paving duties. If you drive along the Danube Cycle Path, Kelheim is well worth a visit.

Weltenburg Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

Weltenburg Abbey dates back to its founding around the year 600, and Benedictine monks still live here today. In the historic rock cellar, you can learn all about the abbey's exciting history.

If you want to delve even deeper into the monastery, you should take part in one of the very informative guided tours. However, you must register for this ten days in advance.

The culmination of your visit to the monastery is a stop at the monastery tavern. A special delicacy is the self-brewed beer, Welternburger Barock Dunkel.

All information about the monastery and the tavern can be found at kloster-weltenburg.de and klosterschenke-weltenburg.de.

Kelheim Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The fountain between the New Town Hall and the Sparkasse symbolizes the confluence of the Danube, Altmühl and Canal. As a replica of Munich's patrona Bavariae, councilor Jakob Mayr had the approx. 7 m high Marian column built in 1700.
