City of 3 rivers

Published on Dec, 2022

As we did our walking tour, we were told that Passau is one of Bavaria's oldest cities. It is the meeting place of the Danube, Inn and Ilz Rivers. As we walked among the colourful houses we did some shopping along Baroque St. St. Steven's Cathedral is also here. It is where the Germany/Austrian border begins.

Great intro to Passau and its History.
