One of the MOST PICTURESQUE Cities along the Danube River | PASSAU, GERMANY
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2024
- Passau is a picturesque city located in the South Eastern part of Germany in the state of Bavaria. The city borders Austria and the state capitol Munich is about a 2 hour drive away.
We’ll start the city tour at the Veste Oberhaus, a 13th century fortress located atop a hill just north of the Danube river.
We’ll continue to the Pilgrimage church of Mariahilf located in the Innstadt, just south of the river Inn. Afterwards, I’ll take you on a walking tour loop through the Innstadt and crossing over a bridge above the Inn river.
Next we’ll explore the city center which comprises the Neumarkt and Altstadt, which is the old town known for its baroque architecture, including St. Stephen’s Cathedral featuring one of the biggest organs in the world.
At the eastern tip of Old town is where the river Danube is joined by the Inn from the south and Ilz from the north giving Passau its Nickname Drei-Fluesse-Stadt which means “City of Three Rivers”.
At the end of the tour we’ll return to Veste Oberhaus for spectacular nighttime views of the city.

Thanks. Really great tour.
Thanks David! Glad you enjoyed the tour.
Going next week to explore!
Nice!! Have fun! Such a lovely city.
Great Video. Very well done
Thanks so much! Appreciate it.
wonderful video..thank you
Thanks so much Isa! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Chris, I've looked at lots of UA-cam videos about Passau. So far, yours is the best I've seen. We will be in Passau on a river cruise in August, thanks for all the good tips!
Wow! What a lovely comment! I’m glad you enjoyed the tour. Thanks so much for your kind words, Barbara! You just made my day 😊. I know you’ll enjoy Passau a lot. It’s a lovely city. Have fun on your river cruise!! And if any questions come up before your trip, don’t hesitate to reach out.
You did a great job. I am from Passau. You pronounce your Tirolean hat as: tie row lee an - Your explanations were good. You spoke slowly and clearly. The Oberhaus Museum is a favorite of mine. It has many small rooms with interesting views. Each exhibit has explanations in three languages, German, English, and Czech. Whenever I visited, I saw Dutch visitors in the museum. To me they are the best tourists. They can be seen in smaller towns. - As children we were happy when the tourist season ended in Passau.. Then the city belonged to us again.
Thanks so much for your kind words Herta and Gilbert! Much appreciated. I really enjoyed filming and putting this video together of Passau.
And thanks for the additional info!! I’ll have to go inside the museum next time I’m there. I’ll probably be back in Passau next year. Such a lovely city! 😊
Looks good the woodline
Not sure what you’re referring to.
A very well made video and clear explanation. I've been several times in Passau while visiting my family in Bodenwohr, kreis Schwandorf. Cheers mate, from Australia.
Thanks so much John! Glad you enjoyed the video. I also have family down there. Always a nice area to visit. Greetings back to Australia from California. 😊
Very well done! As Americans living in Passau we see our hometown very well portrayed in this video. Nice job!
Thanks so much for your nice words Linda!! I’m glad you enjoyed the tour and feel that Passau is well portrayed in this video. Such a lovely city. Hoping to be back at some point this year to visit my sister, who lives there as well 😊.

Thank you for a very interesting and informative video. We will be visiting in October. All the best from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Hey Scott, awesome! Glad you liked the video and thanks so much for the nice words! Have fun there in October! You'll love it. It's a great city. 😊
Hi Scott, wanted to check in and see how you liked Passau. Hope you had a great trip!
@@triptipswithchris thank you for checking in. We enjoyed all the towns/cities we visited. However, Passau was one of my favourites along with Budapest and Vienna. All our guides were very interesting to listen to. The Viking Embla was well presented, our French balcony cabin was small but very comfortable. The only thing I can criticise is the food and service in the dining room. Breakfast, soups and deserts were good but main meals left a lot to be desired regarding food quality and taste. A lot of people loved the food but a few people including us didn’t. Very pleased we did the cruise though but definitely wouldn’t repeat it. All the best from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
@@scottlewisparsons9551 that’s great! Glad to hear you had a nice trip and that you really enjoyed Passau. I love that city as well. Yeah Budapest is a lovely city too. I haven’t made it to Vienna yet, but I’ve heard many great things about that city and I am planning to visit next time I’m in Europe. Greetings back to Australia from California 😊
I was there and went to see all of this and it is stunning in person! I even stood at the fortress where the guards
oversaw the fortress. I can’t wait to go back to Germany .
I hope to tour inside the Neuschwanstein Castle which isn’t very far. I did see it from the outer area but it was closed. We walked up the hill.
Thank you for this video. St Stephan Cathedral in Passau is breathtaking.
It’s my most sweetest of memories filming my grandson looking through the Bible and straightening the books in the pews with Jesus on the Cross in the background. We lit a candle for my dad in this Cathedral.
Again thank you. This is like taking the walk we took all over again.
Thanks so much for your nice comments! I really appreciate it and I love that this tour took you back in time reminiscing your memories made there - especially with your grandson and lighting a candle for your dad. Very special moments for you I'm sure.
Yeah, I need to go back to Neuschwanstein as well. Last time I went I was a little boy and can't remember much of it. I tried to fit it into my last trip to Bavaria, but just couldn't make it work. It's certainly on the list for next time.
@@triptipswithchris -I am saving the videos I took of my grandson in the cathedral so he will surely remember what he did on his visit. He was only 5 years old.
@@GatheringBitByBit That's great! I'm sure he's happy having those memories captured and something to look back at as he gets older.
Very well done. Informative and no nonsense. The organ recital at the end was a treat. Thank you.
Thanks so much for your kind words, Shirley! Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed the tour along with the organ recital at the end. Thanks again 😊
Nice vlog! Great presentation. I am a new subscriber to your channel. Greetings from Plano, Texas, United States.
Oh cool! Thanks so much for the nice words. I really appreciate it and also thank you for subscribing! Greetings back to Texas from California. 😊
@@triptipswithchris Thanks!
I WISH that I had seen this video before we visited Passau,there is so much more to see.Thank you for the beautiful presentation loved every minute.
Awww thanks so much for your kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😊
One more thing, Chris. I watched a long video “Walking in Passau, Germany”.No description. The photographer walks all over Passau for an hour. All you hear is the feet on the cobblestones. It’s all the streets I have walked on for nine years in Passau, attending high school, going there by train from a little town on the Danube. - I recommend you eat at the Oberhaus restaurant. Also take an hour boat ride; the view from the boat in the Danube back to Passau is lovely. The ANA Waterways stop in Passau. They also stop in a smaller medieval town 30 km upriver from Passau, called Vilshofen. If you don’t know Regensburg, that’s larger and also beautiful.There all the house façades are medieval, but the backs of the houses are modern and expensive to rent. Also video available”Walking in Regensburg, Germany”. - Your video is excellent, those other two are different and great for me because I can walk along here in my house in California. - All the houses have historic coats of paints in these historic cities. Nowadays out in the countryside one may encounter real bright colors, a real shock for my eyes.
Thank you for those other video recommendations. I'll check them out.
I did eat at the Oberhaus Restaurant. So good and amazing views of course.
Thanks for the recommendation about the boat ride. I'll have to do that next time as well.
I've been to Regensburg but that was a looong time ago. I was still a young kid 🙂.
6 min away is Darmstadt
Darmstadt is much further away. Closer to Frankfurt.
好美
Awesome video! Would you recommend touring around Passau in 5 hours?
Thank you, glad you liked the video! Yeah definitely! In 5 hours you’ll be able to see quite a bit of Passau. Have fun!
Hi Chris,
Can you relay any information about the hotel in Passau at the Dreiflusseck please?
It's apparently been a fortress at some point. 🤔
Dankeschön!
Lynelle 📯
Hi Lynelle,
I was not familiar with that hotel. Just looked it up. I'm assuming you are referring to the Hotel Schloss Ort. There's not a whole lot of information on their website in regards to the history. It just states that they have a 800 year history and it is indeed inside a former castle.
They have a total of 18 rooms incl. 7 suites and breakfast buffet is served in a historic vaulted dining hall or you can eat on their patio with views of the Inn river.
I will probably be in Passau later in the year and will see if I can get a tour of the hotel and find out more about it. It's certainly in a great location.
Thanks for pointing this out to me. Definitely interesting and hopefully I can share some more information later this year.
Thank you Chris!
Your research is spot on so far. As I did stay in that hotel in Passau for a couple of night. (On my way to listen to the Gebirgsmusikkorps, who were to play a concert in that region).
It would be amazing to find out more
The hotel receptionist knew the structure was originally a castle, but couldn't give any further information...
Looking forward to hearing more from you 😊
Alles gute 🍀☀️
@@user-ol7sj9go1u Very nice! Yeah I'll get in touch with their Sales Dept. before my next trip to Passau and see if they're willing to give me a tour and talk more about the hotel. Would certainly be interesting to find out more and put a video together about the hotel.
Viele Grüße! 😊

How is the night life for students in passau? I am planning to do my masters there soon and im an abroad student.
Hi Rugveda! I’m honestly not too familiar with the nightlife there, but with it being a University city with many students, I’m sure there is a good bar scene and places students go out to. In general that is the case in German student cities. Hope this helps and all the best for your studies abroad. That’s exciting 😊
The stress is on row, tie row Lee an hat
Ah ok, good to know. Thank you!! 😊

Not sure what you’re referring to…
No mehr Touris braucht koa Sau mehr in Passau
Wirtschaftlich gesehen ist der Tourismus enorm wichtig für Passau. Ich kann es verstehen dass man das als Einwohner manchmal anders sieht, aber die Läden, Restaurants etc profitieren sehr davon und es bringt Geld in die Kassen der Stadt welches dann wiederum in die Stadt investiert werden kann.
@@triptipswithchris wir haben jetzt schon mehr als das Corona vor Niveau. Es wird too much
@@toniwalch6543 ja da muss man als Stadt sicherlich die richtige Balance finden. Übertourismus bringt dann auch wieder negative Dinge mit sich.
Naja, ich habe Familie in Passau und freue mich schon im Sommer wieder da zu sein.
red deitsch
Haha. Ja habe schon überlegt Videos auch auf deutsch zu machen. Momentan fehlt mir dafür leider die Zeit.
