Passau

Passau is an old Bavarian city not far from the Austrian border. The rivers Danube, Inn and Ilz flow together in Passau, which is why it is also called the "Three-River City". One of the many sights is the Veste Oberhaus, which served as the residence of the noble bishop of the high monastery of Passau. Passau is the starting point of our cruises on the Danube.
