We left Grossmehring riding thru Volburg and on to Eining and the roman ruins of Abusina. From Eining we took a dirt track along the River to Weltenburg Abby. During the summer people park in Weltenburg town, walk a 1/2 mile to the Abby and have beers and food and/or take a boat ride thru the Danube gorge to Kelheim and back. We stopped at the abby and the courtyard was packed with people eating. There was also a wedding in progress and using the chapel. There were 5 alphorns players waiting in the courtyard for the bride and groom to come out. When they did come out they were serranaded by the horns. I got it on video and tried to put it on the blog but it was going to take 11/2 hrs to upload so I moved on. Maybe later when I have more time. Anyway we got into the abby and got a few pictures. Then we caught a ferry down to Kelheim thru the gorge. The river has cut thru the Franconian Jura ridge and the resulting cliffs rise to 110 meters or more. The ferries carry about 500 people at a shot and they were always packed. We decided to stop in Kelheim which is where the Main-Donau reaches the Donube. We got a room at the hotel Kloisterbrauerei. |
