Named after the Götterhalle of Norse mythology, the Walhalla was built in 1842 at the behest of King Ludwig I. Here since the construction significant personalities of the Germanic language family are honored. These include kings, emperors, painters, composers and generals.

View of the Walhalla

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Walhalla in Donaustauf is one of Bavaria's most impressive monuments. Located high above the Danube and visible from afar. The neoclassical building in the style of a Greek temple was erected in the 19th century by King Ludwig I and is one of Germany's most important national monuments.

The ascent via the approximately 350 steps is athletic, but absolutely worthwhile. At the top, a spectacular panoramic view of the Danube and the Gäuboden awaits you. A highlight, especially at sunset.

Inside, the Hall of Fame impresses with over 100 marble busts of important personalities such as Goethe or Schiller.

The complex is spacious, well-maintained, and ideal for photos or a short excursion.

Highlight: The combination of monumental architecture and view.
Conclusion: An absolute must in the Regensburg region.
Tip: Come early in the morning or in the evening. Fewer visitors & best light.
