After we hiked Pentecost , from Kelheim to the monastery we are this time
back and forth. Unfortunately we experienced a negative surprise in the parking lot.
We wanted to pull a day ticket , fed the machine with 6 euros for a day ticket , got a ticket for 4.50 euros and 1.50 euros change .
Back by the car we still had a "ticket" for 20 euros .
Apparently, the EDP has discovered an additional source of income here .
So to Kelheim prefer by taxi is cheaper !

We celebrated my Mom's 80th birthday on a Sunday and one of my brothers organized a brunch boat trip. You need to make reservations to book a table. The trip started at 10 AM and lasted until 5 PM. The trip took us upriver to the Donaudurchbruch then turned around and went back south to Kelheim and then up the Main-Donau Kanal. We passed through a lock and went all the way to Riedenburg. Here we had an 1 1/2 hours stop were we could do whatever we wanted. We visited a glass museum. Then boarded the ship again and went back to Kelheim.
Now for the food, we got served breakfast (buffet), lots of options, lunch (just before arriving in Riedenburg) and afternoon coffee and cake. Everything was of good quality and tasted good. Service was quick and orderly, no fighting at the buffet as it was organized to go table by table.
The boat ride seemed to be a bit to long, everyone was happy when we arrived back. You could move around the ship and go to the upper decks (open-air). Overall it was a great trip. Also, the value was excellent, boat ride & brunch Euro 35.00 per adult. There are also family tickets.

Too narrow for River cruise boats, it is best to pay for a local cruise from Kelheim to Weltenburg Abbey for the interesting scenery.

Absolutely amazing construction, beautiful art work. I got there via one of the boats. A great way to spend a 3-4 hours one afternoon.

A nice boat trip on the Danube at its narrowest point from Weltenburg monastery to Kelheim. Refreshing in the hot summer.

We visited Weltenberg Abbey as a side excursion from our Viking River Cruise. The boat ride thru the Danube narrows was just gorgeous and the Abbey on the river bank is truly a slice of Heaven. After touring the Abbey, enjoy a beer and pretzel in the bier garden. We could have stayed there for hours.

Taking a cruise up and down a short section of the Danube through the gorge to the Benedictine Monastery of Weltenburg is a great way to spend a sunny day. The 45 minute trip runs every half an hour. Plenty of parking and the terminal is close to the old town centre.

I suspect that if you cruise the entire length of the Danube, this might be one of the ten most memorable stretches, but certainly not among the top five. It was a nice way to spend an hour on a Sunday.

The cruise from Kelheim to Weltenburg is 40 minutes upstream to explore the 400-foot chalk cliffs and dramatic scenery of the Danube Narrows. The river cuts a pass through the mountains, which is one of the most beautiful section of Danube River. The cruise ends at Weltenburg Abbey, founded at the beginning of the 7th century, one of Germany’s oldest monasteries.

We took a boat from Weltenburg to Kelheim. It was possible to take our bicycles on board (extra fee) which was very convenient. The cruise was pretty short and a bit pricey. But because the views were really wonderful I would not hesitate to make the tour again or recommend it to anyone.

I am traveling in May and would like to travel some of the locks from Kelheim. I will be coming from Vienna and was told not to miss this. Has anyone been there in the last year and where, how, and who to contact for boat trip?

Bin auch mit dem Linienschiff nach Weltenburg gefahren. Habe es aber auch so beobachtet, dass die kleinen Boote am Ufer darauf warten, dass Leute kommen und mitfahren. Wenn also Platz ist, dann einsteigen und los gehts.
