Don't wear high heels!

A lot of streets in Passau are made of cobblestone. Long time ago I already mentioned that you should wear flat shoes if you're going to visit this city.
Definiteley no city where to wear sexy shoes. If you wear them anyway you may get hurt.

Stone face

This head of stone is the landmark of the beautiful city of Passau.
Though its origin couldn't be figured out yet, people assume that this head was part of a statue on top of the Passau cathedral, which was burned down in a town fire in 1662.
The head now can be seen near the Stephandom.

Looks like Austria?


Well, at least this one is in Passau!
Next to the river Danube there are some hills where you can find cute, small houses like this one. And sometimes they remind me of the stereotype village house somewhere in the Alps in Austria, especially because Austria is so near you can walk there. But of course it's just a stereotype and most of Austrian houses do not look like this.

The lesson I had to learn today...




... it is definetly a bad idea to wear heels in Passau. I went through the town this evening to take new pictures for you. And as can you see on the one above, Passau got very much streets made of cubblesones. So if you come around for a visit let your high heels at home!
