Photos from my first full day in Passau

Salzburg was elegant, sophisticated, busy. Passau is relaxed and more quiet, yet still busy. The walk to the Dreiflüsseeck (three river, Donau, Inn, Ilz, confluence) was very joyful and meditative.




The Dreiflüsseeck is actually to the right of the sign (makes sense) at land's end, but my map won't let me move the sign :)








This is the spot where the Danube and Inn come together, the Ilz runs into the Inn just a bit to the right.




This is the interior of Kloster Niedernburg where the Blessed Gisela (first Hungarian Queen) is buried.




The very ornate St. Stephans Dom




Very famous St. Stephans Dom organ They say it is the largest pipe organ in the world.




Well, had to have lunch and Spargelsaison (season for asparagus) is short. I just had to have it.




My very own ship? Of course!




From the "it struck me as odd" file, so I had to ask. The young man is taking samples for analysis before sanitation procedures begin. Sanitation is the word they use for upkeep of crumbling walls etc.




Ach, I almost forgot, the view from the Adalbert Stifter Room (where breakfast is served at the Wilder Mann). In the background St. Stephan's Dom.




Interior of breakfast room




And flowers everywhere
