If you start the route at the tomb of St Wolfgang in St Emmeram, the best way to leave Regensburg is as follows: turn right at Emmeramsplatz and continue along St Peters-Weg until you reach Maximilianstraße, which you turn left into. This is the only wide and straight street in Regensburg's Old Town. At the cathedral, turn left into Domstraße, then round the corner at the cathedral until you come to the alley "Unter den Schwibbögen", which you turn right into. You come to a larger square where you can see the Danube bridge "Eiserner Steg". Once you have used this, you are on the island of Wöhrd, where the Danube cycle path markings become visible. This path is so well signposted that you will not be able to miss it for the rest of the day. A description of the exact route therefore does not seem necessary and we will limit ourselves here to what there is to see and experience along the cycle path. Firstly, you cycle through the Regensburg suburbs of Schwabelweis and Tegernheim, then for long stretches along the embankment that protects the land from flooding. After Donaustauf, the slopes come closer to the river and you should not miss looking up to the Walhalla. About twenty kilometres after Donaustauf, you pass Wörth, which is notable for its picturesque castle, once the residence of the Regensburg bishops. The cycle path then runs through the "flat as a board" Danube plain, passing through a number of small villages. Sossau, which is already part of the Straubing urban area, with its interesting pilgrimage church, is located in this landscape. From Sossau, it is best to cycle along the Danube, i.e. eastwards, to the next bridge (Agnes Bernauer Bridge), where you cross the river and continue straight ahead on the cycle path directly into Straubing.
