Painten

Geographically, Painten is located in the Altmühltal region and is surrounded by a picturesque landscape. Kelheim, on the other hand, is located at the confluence of the Danube and Altmühl rivers, which makes the town an important transport hub.

Topically relevant sights include the Weltenburg Monastery with its impressive baroque architecture as well as the well-known beer garden directly on the banks of the Danube. The Befreiungshalle (Liberation Hall) on the Michelsberg is also worth a visit: from here you have a breathtaking view over the entire area.

Cultural highlights are above all the annual folk festival "Kelheimer Herzogsfest" (Kelheim Duke's Festival) as well as numerous concerts in the historic town hall or open-air events on Ludwigsplatz.

Those who like to try culinary delicacies should definitely try a Brettljause (snack) with homemade cheese or ham. But sweet treats like apple strudel or Kaiserschmarrn should not be missed either.

For outdoor lovers, Painten-Kelheim offers many possibilities: In summer, for example, you can cycle along the Danube cycle path or take a canoe trip on the Altmühl. In winter, snow-covered forests invite you to go for long walks or snowshoe hikes.

Even when it rains, there is plenty to do in Painten-Kelheim: How about a visit to the Kelheim Archaeological Museum or a guided tour of the Schulerloch stalactite cave, for example?

The old town of Kelheim is particularly beautiful, where you can stroll leisurely through the alleyways and admire historic buildings such as the town hall or the town tower. But Painten's church "St. Johannes" and the "Schloss Eggmühl" are also impressive buildings that should not be missed.

In general, Painten-Kelheim is definitely worth a visit - whether for a short trip or a longer stay. With this travel guide you are well prepared and can look forward to an unforgettable time!
