The Danube Gorge has both a gentle and a strange beauty. Between Kelheim and Weltenburg a remarkable rocky panorama opens up where the river Danube has carved its course through hard limestone rock.

Wild, romantic river landscape
In a magnificent show of force, the Danube has carved its way through the Swabian Alb to create a stunning landscape - a wild, romantic stretch of river with sheer cliffs rising up to 100 metres out of the water. A river cruise is the most exciting way to experience the romantic Danube Gorge.

The Archaeological Museum is a great way to step back in time and discover more about Kelheim through exhibits spanning prehistory, early history and the history of the town. The Franciscan Church is home to a collection of historical organs that are still played at times. The Crystal Museum in Riedenburg presents the fascinating world of crystals and gemstones.
