Passau, Germany

After leaving Linz, we sailed up the Danube to Passau.  Passau is a city on a point of land where the Inn River from the Swiss Alps and the Ilz River from the north meet the Danube.  The highlight of the visit was St Stephan's Church.  The church has a 17,000 pipe organ, and we were treated to a concert played by one of the three organ masters. 

There had been lots of rain and so the Danube was to high for us to go all the way to Regensburg, our next stop.  In addition the Inn River was flooding just before we arrived and was just below flood stage when we were in town.
