Yet another boat on the shore of a Danubian oxbow lake. A large part of the area near Pfatter and Wörth/Donau is a natural preserve and a retreat for birds and other animals. Thus, this district differs favorably from the agrarian steppe nearby.

Miniature golf, also known as minigolf, crazy golf, or putt-putt, is an offshoot of the sport of golf focusing solely on the putting aspect of its parent game. It is played on courses consisting of a series of holes (usually a multiple of 9) similar to its parent, but characterized by their short length (usually within 10 yards from tee to cup).

Minigolf has so far not reached wide popularity outside Europe and North America and the golden days of this sport are gone, at least in Germany

The Cham-Furth Depression (German: Cham-Further Senke, Czech: Všerubská vrchovina) is a lowland in the Upper Palatine-Bavarian Forest that separates the Upper Palatinate Forest from the Bavarian Forest. At the same time it connects the Upper Palatinate with Bohemia.
It is divided into the Cham basin in the west at a height of 360 to 400 metres, which extends from Roding roughly as far as Arnschwang, and the smaller Furth depression in the east, which extends to Bohemia at heights of 400 to 500 metres. The Furth valley is bounded in the east by the European watershed. Its highest point is Kameňák (Steinwald, 751 m) near Svatá Kateřina (St. Katharina).

The harbor of Regensburg consists of several port basins. This is an image of the Westhafen. The Westhafen is a terminal for containers. Even the Romans and the Kelts used the Danube for transportation. In the background one can see the Stadtlagerhaus, a historical building that was erected in 1890 and extended in 1035 - 1939.
