Passau is a small town of 50,000, with supposedly 5 breweries and 50 churches. It is an ancient settlement at the confluence of three rivers, the Danube, the Inn and the Ilz. In the second half of the fifth century, Saint Severinus established a monastery here.
We visited St. Paul’s Church, which has unusual dark wood and marble against white walls. It is the oldest parish church in Passau.
We took a long walk along the rivers, where there is no rail or wall between the walkway and the river, so there are many lifebuoys and long hooks, just in case you need to rescue someone.
This was our last night on the ship, so we had a captain’s cocktail hour and delicious dinner with friends we had met on the cruise who are from San Diego.
Tomorrow we take the coach for 3 hours to Prague.
