Day 9 - Deggendorf to Passau

Last day in Germany

Today was  our last day in Germany.  We started in Deggendorf and ended Passau out last stop in Germany.  After cruising through Deggendorf on a quiet Sunday morning we headed for the trail along the river.  We ran into detour but even that was well marked on our route, the Donauweg.  We had coffee at the only place open on Sunday morning and stopped along the river to enjoy a quick sandwich before reaching Passau.  Passau dates back to 500BC so a just little older than all of North America.  Passau is where the Danube really becomes a big river because it is joined by a few smaller ones.  It is also the last major city in this part of Germany before reaching Austria.

An archway for a bike event of some sort. The archway is constructed of beer cases.

The Danube foods markings over the years. Note 2013 was the second highest which is why Ron and Carol had to bypass this city in 2013. It was seriously underwater, even the train station.

Gail JohnsonIt looks like you are all doing well and continuing to enjoy your journey. The weather appears to be much warmer. Unbelievable how high the flood waters were when Carol and Ron were there before.
Glad you are all having fun. Once again, your photos tell a wonderful story. BTW, love the arch built from beer cases.
