    Wirklich erlebnisreicher Weg, teils ähnlich einem Steig. Da Hin- und Rückweg gleich sind, kann man selbst die Länge nach Belieben/Zeit bestimmen. Ab der Überquerung der Straße Kellberg-Rothenkreuz wird's etwas breiter.

    Schöner und exakt beschilderter Rundwanderweg wir waren vergangene Woche ein paar Tage in Kellberg Gemeinde Thyrnau zu Besuch. Der Inhaber des Gasthofes Grüß Gott, herr Andorfer hat uns kostenlos eine Wanderkarte zur Verfügung gestellt und uns wertvolle Wandertipps gegeben. Wir haben die Rundwanderung Kellberger Keltenrunde gemacht und durften dabei nicht nur die schöne Natur genießen. Darüber hinaus war es für uns einfach schön, dass dieser Rundwanderweg so ausgezeichnet beschildert ist. Das ist zweifellos dem großen Engagement von Herrn Andorfer zu verdanken. Er sorgt mit seinem Team dafür, dass auf dieser Wanderroute auch sehr viele gepflegte Bänke zum Ausruhen und Genießen einladen.

    Sehr schöne, abwechslungsreiche Tour. Da wir uns erhofft hatten, dass der Weg (wie der Name es schon sagt) an der Donau entlang führt, wurden wir leider enttäuscht: die Donau lässt sich auf der gesamten Route nur wenige kurze Male blicken. Die Beschilderung ist mal sehr gut, dann wiederum längere Zeit gar nicht vorhanden, wir haben uns einige Male kurz verlaufen und mussten uns immer wieder an der Wegbeschreibenden dieser App orientieren. Aufgrund der Länge und vielen steilen Steigungs- und Gefällstücken ist definitiv Ausdauer gefordert. (Man kann die Tour an einigen Stellen abbrechen und mit dem Bus zum Ziel fahren). Dennoch ist die Strecke sehr schön und hat einiges zu bieten! Passau und Oberzell sind eindeutig sehenswert und kommen in der Wanderung eindrucksvoll zur Geltung :).

    Nur Teile gegangen, aber eben die wichtigsten entlang der Erlau: Unberührtes Naturflusstal, in dem die Erlau die letzten Ausläufer des Bayerwaldgranits durchbricht. Interessant sind die Kunstbauten der Eisenbahn. So hat man um 1900 die Linie der Natur angepasst. Auch geschichtlich ist hier einiges Interessante gegeben: Das heutige E-Werk in der Holzschleife war früher Lieferant von Holzschliff für die Papiermühle in Erlau (heutige Sumidawerke). Geht man um das Gebäude herum, kann man durch ein Fenster die Francisturbine sehen.
