Route

Before setting off on the day’s walk I visited the local church in Kapfelburg. Approaching from the east I walked up many steps on a narrow path that has alongside it the fourteen Stations of the Cross.

With a thunderstorm passing overhead and regular rain showers, I continued on, following the Danube River downstream towards the city of Regensburg, passing a large solar farm by Gundelshausen.

I passed through Lohstadt and into Sinzing, where I visited the “Church of Mary’s Assumption” that had three statues of archangels on the front façade: Michael in the centre with Gabriel and, presumably, Raphael either side holding trumpets.

I carried on into Regensburg, crossing the Sinzinger railway bridge over the Danube River, and visited more churches before arriving at my accommodation late in the evening.
