Passau Walking Tour
Passau, Germany
Why Walk Passau
Passau occupies a dramatic setting on a narrow tongue of land where three rivers meet — the Danube, Inn, and Ilz. The old town, largely rebuilt in baroque style after a devastating fire in 1662, is crowned by the hilltop Veste Oberhaus fortress. St. Stephen's Cathedral contains the largest cathedral organ in the world, with over 17,900 pipes. The city has been a bishopric since the 8th century.
