21st June 16 - Passau
Because of the high water in the Danube, the Scenic Pearl is stuck in Vilshofen. We took the short train journey to Passau for a DIY excursion.
|
Vilshofen was a pretty little town in its own right |
|
Passau - Where the Danube meets the River Inn. |
|
View over the Danube to the old Castle. Veste Oberhaus. |
|
You can see how high the water was from this submerged road. Many buildings pumping out their cellars |
|
Lovely flowers though |
|
|
Dom St Stephens |
|
We attended an organ recital. The organ is the biggest outside the US with over 17,000 pipes! |
|
|
Magnificent altar and ceiling in Dom St Stephen. |
|
A municipal-type flower bed that caught my eye... |
