    the Danube breakthrough, the Weltenburger Enge. You can access it from both sides, but you can only get through by boat

    Wonderful and unique. Best seen from the ship. From Kehlheim you can also cycle almost to it. But it doesn't look so good. The nature reserve "Weltenburger Enge", which was placed under protection by King Ludwig I in 1840, is one of the oldest nature reserves in Bavaria. Its heart is the Danube Gorge. The Danube makes its way here for around 5 kilometers through limestone rocks that are up to 70 meters high.

    A trip through the Danube Gorge by ferry from Kehlheim to Weltenburg is highly recommended. The ferry also takes bicycles. Thus it was for us on our tour a very rewarding, small detour, off the "Five Rivers Cycle Route".
