Passau

The lovely small city of Passau is the last city we visit in Germany. This city of 50,000 is located at the confluence of three rivers: the Danube, the Inn and the Ilz. 10,000 of these inhabitants all attend the university here making this a very young and lively population!

In the center of town is the famous St. Stephen's cathedral, which dominates the city's skyline. Inside you will find one of the largest church organs in the world. The baroque appearance was created by Italian architects after the town was destroyed by fire twice in the 1600's. Napolean called Passau the “most Italian looking city north of the Alps”.

The shopping is fabulous here, with shop after shop of jewelry, shoes, clothing, antiques and department stores. I managed to leave quite a few Euros behind :O)

We pushed off from Passau at noon and are cruising at this time to Linz, eta 7PM.

Small groups of 5 people were invited to an informative talk on the bridge. Really cool!
