Vilshofen an der Donau is a 1,200-year-old city located in the free state of Bavaria, Germany. The Danube River flows through the Northern part of the city, which is an excellent place to begin or end a Danube River cruise. The Danube River stretches from the southern part of Germany down to the Black Sea: the Danube River goes through Germany, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Romania, and Bulgaria. Additionally, Vilshofen has a population of around 17,000 inhabitants, with over seventy-five percent of them self-identifying as Catholic. Visit the Schweiklberg Benedictine Abbey tower that stands like a medieval fortress, or the Christian church, Abteikirche. Or you can try to coordinate your trip to line up with one of Germany's most famous traditions, Oktoberfest! Contact our Trip Planners to start planning your trip to Vilshofen Germany today.
