From Ulm, the Gateway of Bavaria, EuroVelo 6 takes you through beautiful valleys and typical Bavarian towns. Entering Bavaria, your German skills might be challenged by a typical pronunciation and the Bavarian way of life. The route entirely follows the Danube, where you will pass through well preserved medieval town centres and gorgeous river valleys. Don't miss the monastery at Weltenburg and the Roman city of Regensburg on your way. The gothic cathedral and the "Regensburg Sausage Kitchen" call for your visit. The section ends in Passau, a romantic German border town partly located on a Danube island.
