Asambasilika Altenmarkt outside Passau

We are 65ish and am going to Passau and other towns in Bavaria this fall. Traveling by rail, we don't want to try to go to any site that isn't easily reachable by train followed by city bus. We would love to see the Asambasilika, but I can't seem to find any details about it like the hours that it is open, or which bus to take to get there. Hiking a couple of km after a train ride is in the rear view mirror age-wise for us. Does anyone know how easy it is to get there once you are at the Osterhofen bahnhof?

We also want to go to Mariahilf kirche in Passau but we can't manage 200 steps. I know there is a bus that goes close by, k-1, but can't figure out precisely how close it gets. Anyone know?

I do get frustrated in the planning stages because I see these incredible places, but without a car and not knowing the ridiculous details of just how much walking is involved, I feel like I'm butting into a wall. We typically travel for a month, so walking km after km each day adds up fast. Many thanks.

BTW, the best of the Asam churches in the Passau area is the (newly renovated) monastery church in Aldersbach (pictures here). It's about a 50 minute bus ride from Passau (check the DB app for details). Next to the church is a nice Bräustüberl.
