Prüfening Castle: The former monastery church of St. George is well worth a thorough visit. Most impressive are the Romanesque murals from the 12th century, which have been preserved on the crossing pillars and in the side choirs, ensuring that their original character and color scheme have been preserved to this day.

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.

    schöne einsame Tour. Da wir von Matting aus gegangen sind, haben wir uns denn Abstecher nach Obernberg gespart, und damit einige Höhenmeter, und sind auf dem Jura stetig oben weiter gegangen.

    Wir sind am Wochenende die Tour gegangen. Und wir vier Mädls (+2 Hunde) waren sehr begeistert. Naturbelassen trifft es sehr gut. Aber richtig schön. Ohne Navi hätten wir die Tour wahrscheinlich nicht gefunden, aber Outdooractive hilft da ja super 👍 Bilder folgen noch. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert.

    Die Landschaft ist sehr schön, die zweite Hälfte ist aber auf einem geradlinigen Weg zurück. Uns sind Pfade und Wanderwege lieber.
