The rivers meet in Passau and you can see the difference in the water. The Main. And the Danube colours are vey distinct and it is very cool to see them meet and merge.
Passau is a beautiful city. We got off and walked up the lovely narrow streets with buildings which seem to be connected with arches across the streets. The side lanes were very cool too also connected arches between the buildings across the lanes.
Lots of little flower boxes on white washed buildings and also with the flood measurements on some of the buildings. it seems that the rivers here flood on a pretty regular basis. We continued up the narrow lanes into a large square with a very large church at the top of the square and a fountain with angel statues at the bottom of the square. We walked around the large St Michael's church to get to the front and were surprised by the beauty within. It was gorgeous. All white marble and statues and a giant organ which unfortunately we did not hear. they do give concerts on the organ but not the day we were there. needless to say it was a stunning church and I think my favourite so far on the trip.
After the church we walked back down around the back of it to the first square and found a restaurant, the Altstadt Beisl. We had a bageriiche lowenbrauerei beer which was very good . We each ordered a Spinach and cheese dumpling dish which was fantastic! So good. We told the owner she should come cook on the ship and she seemed quite pleased.
Then we walked back a different way and came out in a shopping area that was quite busy there was a little laneway to the washroom and when we were finished there we followed it down another very narrow laneway to the main street and then followed that along the river back to the ship
Loved Passau. It was beautiful and very clean.
