Fodor's Expert Review Einsiedelei Klösterl

A 30-minute walk over a pretty scenic footpath between Kelheim and Weltenburg (starting at the Kelheim port) takes you past this ancient hermitage hewn from a cliff-side cave in 1450. A few years later the abbey was appropriated by the Franciscans, who expanded the small chapel and abbey. Having fallen into ruin, in 1603 it was entirely rebuilt by a local mason. Services are still held in the abbey, which also has a small beer garden serving snacks and local brews.
