3 nights in Landshut before Regensberg cruise

First day will be somewhat recovery day, but we have 3 full days/nights in Landshut before we have a week on the Danube. Any suggestions- we won't have a car, but are willing to take the train, etc. Thanks to this amazing community in advance!

Landshut itself has a lot to offer, but is also a good starting point for train trips. I like all the little towns around Landshut like Dingolfing, Landau an der Isar or Deggendorf.

What I always find quite enchanting is Weltenburg Abbey. There's no direct bus or train, but the monastery suggests train to Abensberg and arranging a taxi from the train station. And not to forget a boat trip to the Danube Gorge. Afterwards a cold beer in the abbey's beer garden.

And if you're in Abensberg anyway, you absolutely have to visit the 'Brauerei zum Kuchlbauer' and the Kuchlbauer tower. The brewery's owner has a soft spot for Friedensreich Hundertwasser - so cool.

The area around Abendsberg and Schrobenhausen is Bavarian asparagus country - especially white asparagus. A very big deal during the season (April–June).

What I also always liked was the old town of Ingolstadt and of course the Audi Museum.

Then there's the 'Hall of Liberation' in Kehlheim. Personally, I don't find that all that exciting.

Surely there are many more ideas that I haven't thought of right now. Happy travels.

Just curious, why Landshut as your base? You are flying in to Munich? Then taking the train to Regensberg to start your cruise? No knock against Landshut, just wondering why not stay in Munich or head straight to Regensberg.
