| Dreiflüsse-Eck - where the 3 rivers meet |
Passau Passau, a small town in Bavaria near the Austrian border, is famous for being on the confluence of 3 rivers - the Donau (Danube), Inn and the Ilz. It is also home to St Stephans Cathedral which houses the largest church organ in the world. The local population is quite small (around 50,000) but there is a large student community and lots of tourists. The tourists, from abroad and other parts of Germany, tend to be quite old. Water dominates. Several cruises of varying durations are available and flooding is an annual event. The flood in August 2002 was the worst since 1954. |

I liked Passau very much, it's still fresh in my memory! | craic Sun Jun 1, 2003 13:50 UTC
I suppose the plaza is called that because when it floods the locals say - Oh rathaus! The plaza is flooded again! | Guantanamera Fri May 30, 2003 19:52 UTC
Bavaria is definitely my favorite part of Germany, love the blend of German and Italian influences... | herzog63 Fri May 30, 2003 08:59 UTC
