View of Passau Old Town from the Inn Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Marienbrücke as a bridge is not particularly beautiful or interesting, but as a viewing platform it is an extraordinary place. Great view of the city and Inn. From the Innstadt we have an unforgettable cityscape with the cathedral.

Today the moderate but constant south-east wind made sure that we never got too hot 😅 Despite everything, a successful tour 💪

After the rest day in Passau we continued. The section of the Danube loop was very scenic and also very good for driving. Including a short ferry ride. After the Danube loops the land became wide and flat and there was a corresponding headwind.

Just as we were crossing the border, my rear derailleur broke off. So pushed back to Passau and because there was no suitable spare part, a fixi was made from my bike. Super developed route but sporty in the wind and with only one gear.
