While is Regensburg we had the opportunity to visit the Weltenburg Abbey. To get there we took a ferry up the Danube River to the Weltenburg Abbey. It is located right on the river and is known for its beer. We are in Germany after all. Here are a few of our favorite photos from Weltenburg Abbey.

The Wachau Valley is known primarily for its vineyards. To be honest, the vineyards were the least interesting part to see. This beautiful valley carved by the Danube River is naturally beautiful but its history makes it intriguing. This is the land of Castles and Robber Barons! Here are a few of our favorite photos.

We had the opportunity to take a side trip to Szentendre a city just 25 km from Budapest. We visited by way of bicycle. If you make it to Budapest, you really should take the opportunity to take the bike ride to Szentendre. The way back is by boat so you don't have to be in fabulous condition to make it. This bike tour included parts of Budapest that we probably would not have seen. Here are some of our favorite photos from Szentendre and the bicycle tour.

Passau was one of my favorite spots on this tour through the Danube River Valley. The river cruise was a lot of fun and Passau won my heart. This city is built where three rivers join together almost surrounding the old town with water. Walking through this old town is pure joy. Below are a few of our favorite photos from out visit.

Budapest is an amazing city. Once two cities, Buda and Pest, the two united when a bridge was finally built that could span the Danube River and with stand the ebb and flow of the river. This beautiful city has two distinct personalities representing the two cities. The Buda side has more parks, greenery and rolling hills. The Pest side has more shopping and more economical housing. No matter which side of the river you are on, you will be enthralled with the beauty, architecture, and history of Budapest! Plan to stay for several days.

Part of the fun of a River Cruise is being able to sit on deck and just watch all of the beautiful scenery go by. This was one of our favorite days. We were so thankful that we did not take the optional tour available on this day, we would have missed some of the best sights. It seemed like every other mountain top (we would call them hills here in Boise) there seemed to be a fortress or ruin of some kind. Truly a magical day. Here are some of our favorite photos from the day on the river.
