Rock formations and caves above the Danube Valley We begin our hike with a tour of the St. George Monastery Church, completed in 1125, a Romanesque pillar basilica with a transept. The well-preserved Romanesque wall paintings are worth seeing. After secularization, the Thurn und Taxis family acquired the monastery in 1899. Max Emanuel, Prince of Thurn und Taxis, was a member of the Benedictine Order and sought—unfortunately without success—to revive monastic life. As the hermit Father Emmeram, he lived alone and in seclusion in the former Prüfening Monastery for over 30 years until his death in 1994. Following the tour, the Max-Schultze-Steig trail leads us along the Danube past countless scenic rock outcrops to Pentling, the former residence of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. We’ll take a leisurely hike back along the banks of the Danube and, to top it all off, gain a geological insight into the former lignite mining operations at the Friedrich Mine.
