Green Innstadt

The Innstadt district with a lot of green.

A lot of water

Finally my exams are over (until fall)! And that means that I have time to take a lot of new photographs for you like this one. Every time I cross one of the bridges here in Passau I'm just amazed at the big amount of water. Compered to the city I lived before is this a lot! My hometown is about three times bigger than Passau but there in only one river. Here in Passau there are three rivers and two of them are really big as you can see on the photo above. It shows the Inn river. For me this seems just huge! What do you think?

Somewhen last year after a walk along the Inn river.

'A' is for Art

The city of Passau and I, we got a different taste of art. Passau thinks this is a beautiful artwork and I only see an ugly concrete block spoiling the beauty of the Inn river.
What do you think?

Fuenferlsteg

The bridge again, in whole.

Bridge

This is a bridge over the Inn river, it is called "Fuenferlsteg" and it is for pedistrians and byciclists only.
Tomorrow I'll show you the view from the banks on the bridge.


Monochrome Weekend

Along the banks of Inn

A walk at a sunny sunday afternoon.

Gotcha!

There are a lot of rats living at the Inn banks. These little guys are so fast that it's hard to see them... in most cases you only hear a rustling and you see a shadow flitting to the next stone or bush.
It took me a long time to get a photo of one of the little rats! :)

I took this one last month when there was a flooding in the city. I thought it would fit well for this theme day so I saved it for posting today.

Looks like the ocean?

Wrong!
We had a LOT of rain the last few days. A lot of rain makes a lot of water and a lot of water makes a lot of water in the river. That's how Inn looked like today.

Havin' a blast

This is one of my favorite places in Passau. Its near the place where Inn flows into Danube. It's on the Inn bank and it's a pretty cool place to sit and relax or to watch people. There are often kids playing or couples sitting on this tree.

Doesn't look like Bavaria?

Well, that actually IS Bavaria, even it looks a little bit like beach. I took this one on a walk along the Inn banks.
I really love the Inn because there's something mystical about it - well, at least this is my opinion. The river flows very quick and there are everywhere kinds of eddy water and stuff... additionally the water looks very green which is pretty cool, too. Definetly no river to swim! And that's the reason why there are live savers like this one along the party of Inn banks where many people go for a walk.
If you come to Passau I really recommend going for a walk there! Especially in the evening when you can watch sunset too. It's pretty romantic there.

Cute little duckie...

sitting next to the Inn.

Like a mirror

Do you see the reflection on the water of the river Inn?
It's like there was a second world underneath the water surface.

Passau Daily Photo is online!

click the photo to enlarge

Well, some of you might know my old blog about the city of Saarbrücken.  I couldn't keep it up because I moved to Passau to go to university. So I decided to make a new blog so that I can explore the town with you together.

And what's best for the first blog entry? I thought a while and then I chose this photograph. You see the probably the most popular thing about Passau. 

The city is known as "Dreiflüssestadt" which means "city of three rivers" in English. On the photo you see the river Inn on the right entering the river Danube (also known as Donau). Somewhat down the river, the river Ilz is joining Danube also. 

When you stand on the peak of the city where I took this picture, you can greatly see the two different currents clash at each other.
