Suggested tours: On the River Danube Cruise ships in Passau Along the River Danube and the Route of Emperors and Kings With a length of more than 2,800 km, the Danube is the second longest river in Europe. It connects 10 European countries as well as some of the most important European metropolises and former royal and imperial cities, such as Vienna, Budapest and Belgrade, for example. It also flows through East Bavaria and joins the East Bavarian cities Kelheim, Regensburg, Straubing, Deggendorf and Passau. Countless river cruise ships dock at the ports of these towns. These towns and picturesque landscapes can also be discovered on shorter boat trips and excursions on the Danube. Do a river cruise and discover the sites all in one go – a very special experience! The Route of Emperors and Kings connects Regensburg with the royal and imperial cities of Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest.

Topics: Untouched nature Landscape of the Bavarian Forest Nature: National Park und limestone caves East Bavaria is a region full of nature and many different, and, at points, very impressive landscapes. There are a total of 7 nature reserves in the region of East Bavaria, as well as the first national park in Germany, the Bavarian Forest National Park. It is part of the largest contiguous forest area in Central Europe. It lies directly on the border to the Czech Republic. Just over the border on the Czech side is Šumava National Park. Extensive woodland and virgin forests are a feature of this region. Incidentally, Germany's cleanest air was also found to be here. The landscape isn't just spectacular overground, but underground, too! In the Bavarian Jura, you can admire a number of breathtaking rock formations with stalactites and stalagmites. You will find yourself in a fairytale world when visiting! While the landscape of the Upper Palatinate Forest is shaped by ancient volcanoes, the Bavarian Golf and Spa Country is rich in thermal springs. www.ostbayern-tourismus.de Limestone caves www.ostbayern-tourismus.de 37
