The first stage of your Bike Tour from Regensburg to Passau takes you first to the Valhalla near Donaustauf. The imposing memorial is located above the Danube and displays a wealth of busts of German personalities and much more – very impressive! Enjoy the view of the Danube and the surrounding area before following the meanders of the river to your overnight stop in Straubing. The duke city looks back on Celtic and Roman roots. You can learn more about them at the Gäubodenmuseum, which takes you back in time to Straubing and the Gäuboden region. The town's landmark is the almost 70-meter-high town tower.
