Kelheim is well placed for excursions. A stroll through the medieval quarter of nearby Regensburg, a former free imperial city, brings its amazing history to life. The Limes Route offers dramatic impressions and exciting insights into the region's Roman past.Regensburg
Regensburg is home to two thousand years of living history. It is a very attractive town with some of Europe's most important architectural and cultural monuments plus fascinating museums and art collections. Genuine Bavarian hospitality adds a special warmth to the vibrant mix of art and culture. Regensburg on the banks of the Danube is the perfect base for boat trips along the river.German Limes Route
There are preserved Roman remains, excavated sites and reconstructions along the Upper-Germanic Rhaetian Limes, the frontier of the Roman Empire, extending approx. 550km from the Koblenz area in Rhineland-Palatinate through Hessen and Baden-Württemberg to the Regensburg region in Bavaria. The course of the border wall can still be made out in places as it stretches in long, straight lines across fields and forests.
