Germany 2022

In June 2022 we did an 18 day Danube River cruise which started in Romania and ended in Germany. The city of Passau lies at the confluence of three rivers, The Danube, Inn and Ilz and since Roman times has attracted traders and travelers. The old town of Passau is dominated by Oberhaus Fortress which is a castle complex originating in the 13th century sitting on top of a hill on the opposite bank of the Danube. Passau old town is known for its gothic and baroque architecture which was the result of rebuilding after a fire in 1662 which destroyed much of the city. St Stephen's Cathedral in the old town is one of the largest Baroque churches north of the Alps
