Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Old town of Regensburg with Stadtamhof
The first thing to do in Regensburg is to cross the Stone Bridge on foot. It dates from the twelfth century and, for a long time, was the only fixed crossing of the Danube for hundreds of kilometres, which is why the city grew rich on trade. Merchants, crusaders and pilgrims passed over it, and the arches still carry the tourist traffic. At the far end lies Stadtamhof, an island of narrow streets and low houses between two river channels, which was once a separate town and still feels slightly apart. UNESCO listed the old town and Stadtamhof in 2006, and the city has one of the largest medieval centres in Germany.

2. Weltenburg‐Am Galget - Kleinkastell
The Danube does something unexpected just upstream of Kelheim. Instead of wandering across flat Bavarian farmland, it cuts straight through a band of white Jurassic limestone, squeezed between cliffs that rise steeply from the water. This is the Weltenburg Narrows, and on the hill above the abbey at Weltenburg, at the spot called Am Galget, the Romans put a small fort to watch the river and the frontier.

3. Fort site and civil settlement of Pfoerrin
Between Ingolstadt and Kelheim, the Danube flows through a broad, flat valley in Bavaria, with hop gardens, fields of maize and asparagus beds on its banks. Pförring is a small market town on the north bank, with Neustadt an der Donau and Vohburg on the other side. In Roman times, this was the frontier: the Raetian Limes ended at the Danube just downstream, and the Romans built a fort here, known as Celeusum, with a civil settlement outside its walls.
