View Cruise DealNestled along the Danube River, Deggendorf, known as the Gateway to the Bavarian Forest, presents a blend of natural beauty, historical charm and modern lifestyle. This enchanting city in Southern Germany offers a variety of experiences for visitors docking at its port.
A cruise to Deggendorf begins with exploring its picturesque Old Town. The city’s history unfolds in the winding cobblestone streets lined with beautifully restored medieval buildings. The focal point is the sprawling market square, where the vibrant life of the city is palpable. The square is surrounded by colourful facades, cafes and shops, inviting visitors to linger and soak in the local culture. Notable landmarks in the Old Town include the 14th-century St. Peter and Paul Church, known for its striking Gothic architecture and the Heilig Grabkirche St. Johannes, a pilgrimage church with stunning Baroque interiors. Walking through the Old Town is like stepping back in time, with each building and street corner telling its own story of Deggendorf’s rich past.
For those looking to delve into the cultural aspects of the city, the Deggendorf Museum offers a window into the region’s history and traditions. Located in a former granary, the museum showcases a range of exhibits that span from the prehistoric era to modern times. Visitors can learn about the city’s development, local customs and the art and craftsmanship of the Bavarian Forest. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions, adding contemporary perspectives to the historical narrative.
The Bavarian Forest, just a short distance from Deggendorf, is a natural paradise waiting to be explored. This vast forest is Germany’s first national park and is known for its pristine landscapes, diverse wildlife and extensive network of hiking and biking trails. One of the highlights of the Bavarian Forest is the Baumwipfelpfad, a treetop walk that leads visitors through the forest canopy with breathtaking views of the surrounding area. The walk culminates in an observation tower, offering panoramic vistas of the forest and beyond. The park also offers guided tours, wildlife-watching opportunities and educational exhibits, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers and families.
