Vilshofen an der Donau

The landscape around Vilshofen an der Donau is defined by the broad Danube valley and the confluence of the Vils, which have shaped both the town’s layout and its role in river commerce. Set in Lower Bavaria between Passau and Deggendorf, it has long been connected to the Danube’s trading and passenger routes; river-cruise vessels still call here. The historic centre gathers around the elongated Stadtplatz, where town houses and churches give the settlement a distinctly Bavarian character. On the hill above the centre, Schweiklberg Abbey represents the town’s Benedictine presence.
