Deggendorf

A town with many faces

Experience borderless culture and nature between the Danube, the Bavarian Forest and Bohemia. Deggendorf is a great place to live and impresses its visitors with a multifaceted offering in terms of art, culture and sights

The Mediterranean-style town square with pedestrian zone invites you to take a gentle stroll and relax in one of the cafes, bars and restaurants. Pleasure is very important here as Deggendorf was listed as one of the “100 places of pleasure” to visit in Bavaria! The town centre and old town area with their many small, traditional shops but also modern department stores transform your stroll into a genuine experience. Further towards the Danube, you can spend time relaxing with the whole family at the modern playgrounds in the former horticultural show venue. The Danube beach with views of wonderful sunsets invites you to dream during the evening hours

The Deggendorf culture district with the town and crafts museum, Kapuzinerstadl and town library is a meeting point for anyone with an interest in culture and tradition in the town and district. Take a stroll through the history of the region and visit the original Biedermeier pharmacy.

A visit to the Kapuzinerstadl is also recommended – the church of a former capuchin monastery is a cabaret venue and concert hall for international artists. The Kapuzinerstadl is also used for exhibitions. The library is a showpiece of modern architecture and one of the best in the free state.

Passau

The romantic three-river city

Passau’s mediaeval charm can be best appreciated on a gentle stroll through the picturesque old town. Small boutiques, restaurants, cafés and shops hidden behind winding alleyways give the city its particularly individual nature. St Stephen’s Cathedral, the symbol of the three-river city, rises up in an imposing and impressive manner.

The sounds of the world's largest cathedral organ can be heard from far away.

Discover the sights in Passau: whether it’s impressive churches, remarkable buildings, interesting museums or picturesque squares – the city with three rivers creates a great impression. A walk to the “Dreiflüsse-Eck” is particularly worthwhile – observe the confluence of the Danube, Inn and Ilz from a ship – a great experience!

Things to see in Passau:

Veste Oberhaus, Oberhausmuseum Passau, Passau Cathedral Treasures and Diocese Museum, Prince-Bishop’s Opera House, Passau Glass Museum, Jesuit Church of St. Michael, Niedernburg Convent with the grave of the Holy Gisela, Mariahilf Pilgrimage Church, Roman Museum Kastell Boiotro and much more!!

Regensburg

UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Danube

Mrs Koller’s personal day in Regensburg put together just for you:
You’ll find a free place to park at the Unteren Wöhrd. From here you can set off directly along the Danube towards historical Regensburg. You can already see the magnificent Regensburg Cathedral along the way. The Stone Bridge takes you directly to the historical centre of Regensburg. On the left you’ll see the historical Sausage Kitchen where you can enjoy grilled sausage with sauerkraut and sweet mustard. You must also try a “Schwarzer Kipferl” – a treat! The Sausage Kitchen is located directly on the Danube, which makes it the perfect starting point for a boat trip. You can either travel by boat from Regensburg to the Walhalla, where you’ll already see the impressive building designed by King Ludwig I. on the way. It takes approximately 45 minutes to get there from Regensburg along the Danube. Or you can take the legendary “Strudel” round trip, which has been offered for more than 44 years. The boat trip lasts approximately 50 minutes and takes you along the Donaustrudel, under the Stone Bridge and past the postcard silhouette of Regensburg. 

Once you’re back on solid ground, you can take a bus trip around the city (single ticket in the city centre €1.10 per person). On the way, you can look out for suitable places to go shopping afterwards. If you don’t want to discover the city on your own, you can go on a Stadtmaus city tour. Café Rinaldi right behind the cathedral is the perfect place to enjoy some refreshments after visiting the beautiful building. And don’t forget to take a tour of the town hall! Round off your culinary and cultural day in Regensburg with a stroll through the lovely shops.

Things to see in Regensburg:

Stone Bridge, Porta Praetoria, former town hall, Schloss Thurn und Taxis, historical Sausage Kitchen, Jakobstor, Golden Tower, Neue Waag, Salzstadel, Goliath House and much much more ...
