Altmühltal cycle path: Essing - Kelheim section

On the last section from Essing to Kelheim, the Schulerloch stalactite cave awaits as a highlight along the way. At 420 meters long, it is one of the largest stalactite caves in the entire Altmühltal. A short climb on foot is required to reach the entrance. Also worth a short stop are the stations of the Altmühltal Archaeology Park along the way, such as the burial mound of a Bronze Age cemetery near Altessing. The majestic Liberation Hall on Kelheim's Michelsberg soon comes into view. It was erected to commemorate the Napoleonic Wars of Liberation. The Main-Danube Canal and the Danube meet in Kelheim, the former residence of the Wittelsbach dynasty. Here you can continue your tour on the Danube cycle path. However, you should not miss a boat trip through the world-famous Danube Gorge to Weltenburg Abbey beforehand.
