July 31, 2023,🛵 Donaudurchbruch mit Kloster Weltenburg 🍺

After the tour to the Vespa meeting in Bad Abbach literally fell into the water 💦 because of the 🌧️ weather on Saturday, the tour just took place today. However, with a visit to the Weltenburg Monastery and the Liberation Hall.

The sour Lüngerl in the photo is real, but unfortunately the beer is lead-free, given the circumstances.
