Johann Fischaleck

In the heart of Old Bavaria, amidst charming river valleys and gently rolling hills, lies a hiker's paradise. For a long time, the recreational value of this area between the Danube and Isar went undiscovered. Here, the Romans left their mark over 2000 years ago. The hiking region, with magnificent views of untouched river valleys and sights extending to the Bavarian Forest, is bordered by three significant Bavarian ducal cities: Landshut, Straubing, and Kelheim. The area is gentle and climatically favored, allowing for a high number of sunshine hours, which has led to the reintroduction of a cultivated plant: the grapevine. Alongside a number of dedicated amateur winemakers, every farm has its grapevines by the house or barn, and the Mallersdorf monastery vineyard boasts a history of nearly 300 years. Explore this pristine, historically rich region. Lower Bavaria - as few know it.
