Stop At: St. Stephan's Cathedral, Domplatz, 94032 Passau, Germany
We propose to you the best starting point which allows us a gracious tour along the Royal Promenade, following the steps of personalities such as Barbarossa and Empress Elizabeth “Sissi” of Austro-Hungary. After this royal walk we have e meeting with the real star of the trip: St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the largest baroque cathedral North of the Alps and home to the largest organ in all of Europe containing 17,774 pipes and 233 registers! A true superstar amongst church organs. We continue to the former Bishop's Residence until we reach the wonderful town hall, It’s time to cross the Danube via the Luitpold Bridge and walk up the path to the “Veste Oberhaus” which served as the fortified residence of the bishop of Passau, offering a spectacular view of the entire city and the river valley. On the way back to the old city, we cross the same bridge again, so that we can admire and photograph the tip of land where the three rivers join to form the mighty stream that is the Danube. Pass by the local Town Hall, mainly built in the late XIVth century on the banks of the river. The tower is from the nineteenth century and has the largest carillon in Bavaria. Take your time to enjoy the spectacle and the surrounding before we move we rediscover to the old town and end our tour.
