A rainy day. The bus drops us off at the top of the hill across the river (s) from Kelheim. The monument was built in the mid-1860s to commemorate the defeat of Napoleon. The statues number eighteen - one for each germanic tribe. There are 165 steps up a narrow circular staircase to the first external balcony; 38 more to the second.
The view from the top is, well, wet: but stunning.
