From the inn you go over the bridge - the drift barrier - wood was once drifted here, and once you get over there is an underground passage (Ilzschleife).

From here you have a wonderful view

Passau is a wonderful city and a very nice place to start the bike path

Beautiful view of Passau! 👍 The view of Passau from the Marienbrücke offers an impressive panorama of the three-river city. Particularly striking is St. Stephen's Cathedral with its green domes, which towers over the old town.

The story behind it is very interesting.

Very interesting story behind it. There is just so much to learn and experience. I had no idea what I was looking at. The bridge pillars are also used as log rakes.

The drift barrier is a result of the once economically important timber rafting in Passau, which began around 1729. In 1788 the first drift regulations were issued in Passau. At that time, the trip on the Ilz from the Bavarian Forest to Passau took about six weeks. From 1827 to 1831, the 115.5 meter long, 3.2 meter wide and 2.3 meter high Triftsperre tunnel was built near Hals, through which the drift water was directed from then on. This tunnel significantly shortened the longer route through the Halser river loop, with which up to 100,000 cubic meters of wood could be transported annually. The drift itself only came to a standstill after the end of the Second World War due to the continuous expansion of the forest roads.
