February 28, 2024, Triftsperre Wooden Bridge over the Ilz

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).

The renovation work will last until 2025. Very impressive, a must for all travelers. St. Stephan’s Cathedral in Passau towers majestically above the picturesque city on the Danube. Its towers rise proudly, the history of past centuries engraved on every stone. A masterpiece of Gothic architecture that enchants visitors with its sublime beauty.

The world's largest playable cathedral organ is currently being restored and cannot be visited. The cathedral's interior is largely covered in scaffolding. The renovation is scheduled to be completed by 2026. The altar and the front part of the nave are open to the public. Perhaps also interesting is that there is "still" no admission charge to visit the cathedral.

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.
