Landkreis Kelheim

Tegan had class this morning at 10am, so after a nice sleep in Steve went down to the supermarket and picked up some smoothies and muesli bars to get us through the morning. Steve then went on a walk around town until Tegan was done with class at 11:30am. We got ready and went out for brunch at Malefiz cafe, which did some really nice breakfast food (although the poached eggs weren’t quite at Melbourne level, they were only very barely cooked).

We then headed to the train station to make our way to Kelheim, where we were planning on catching a boat to Weltenburg, an old monastery/brewery combo. We had to change from a train to a bus to the boat and it took almost 2.5 hours, but the boat section of it was quite beautiful.

We arrived at Weltenburg and sat down in a nice beer garden and ordered some drinks and giant pretzels. We spent about an hour and a half there enjoying the atmosphere before making the move back to the boat dock.

The way back was downstream, and it made a massive difference - on the way there the boat trip was 50 mins, but on the way back it was just 20 mins. We had some luck with the connecting bus and train as well, and we were back in Regensburg an hour sooner than we thought we might have been. We had dinner at a lovely Vietnamese restaurant.Les mer
