Lighthouse on the Danube near Eining

Highlight • Monument

The high water marks at the lighthouse are impressive; they make us aware of how high the water has been in the past and how high it can rise at any time.

October 16, 2022,Vohburg nach Weltenburg 🚲🌞

The sun 🌞 laughs at 21 degrees - you have to get out! Bicycles on the car and to Vohburg. From there on the dam to Weltenburg. There a leisurely ride with the Zille for 13 EUR for 2 people through the Danube Gorge and back. Unfortunately there was no refreshment as the beer garden was completely overcrowded.

An alternative route to the E8 Danube Cycle Path, where the original route barely shows the Danube.

But it's a great tour along the dam. 99% of the route is dirt road, with no cars. A bit of a single trail after Weltenburg Monastery, but it's not a problem for anyone.
