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...
