Reiseführer Donau

This travel guide describes the cultural and natural landscapes of the German part of the Danube, from its source in Donaueschingen to the Austrian border. The ancestral castle of the Hohenzollern in Sigmaringen, historically significant cities such as Ulm, Ingolstadt, Regensburg, and the three-river city of Passau are among the cultural highlights; many other romantic small towns, world-renowned monasteries, and lesser-known castles line the river. With the Danube Gorge, the Altmühltal, and numerous scarcely explored river landscapes shaped by old river arms, the Danube also offers many scenic highlights. This guide provides detailed information on all the attractions along the river, offers tips for active vacationers, as well as insights into Bavarian and Swabian cuisine. The portrait of the river is complemented by in-depth discussions on nature, history, local traditions, and shipping. Maps and up-to-date practical travel tips provide orientation.
