As a parish church, St. Paul's is small compared to the huge St. Stephan's Cathedral. Nonetheless, it is quite beautiful and worth visiting and the pink tower is easy to spot.. Without the big crowd's that flock to the cathedral, you can enjoy a prayerful visit at St. Paul's with solitude. The altars and furnishings are beautiful with impressive artworks.

Home to one of Europe's largest pipe organs, St. Stephen's Cathedral exudes the baroque architecture style of the 17th Century. The organ has more than 17,000 pipes and inspired Liszt to write his "Hungarian Coronation Mass. An organ concert, held each day excep on Sundays or from November to April, was really stunning. The sound penetrates you from all angles . . . but in a good way. Most amazing is the architecture inside with statuary and gilded effigies everywhere. Because it is a tourist favorite, you may find it fairly crowded but I recommend that you go in the morning when (a) it is a bit cooler and (b) not as many people attend the organ concert. In all, the experience widened my understanding of the period and the people of Passau.

This is a lovely viewpoint and a beautiful church. Totally worth the climb. You can claim by going right when you end the bridge and it’s all an incline up - or left, which is a path that ends in 100+ steps up. Either is fine, not very strenuous. You’re rewarded with a really special view of Passau

Walk among the treetops, between 8 and 25 meters above the forest floor, and experience untouched nature from a unique perspective on our 1,300 meter elevated pathway! The highlight of our treetop walk is our 44 meter high tree tower. Experience the boundless forest wilderness of the Bavarian Forest National Park (Nationalpark Bayerischer Wald) from a new perspective.

We went here during a Shearings holiday. There is a gentle climb on a circular path, the view from the top is well worth the effort, highly recommended.

One hour there feels like a week long holiday to me. Beautiful walking path among the trees with a spectacular view over the Bavarian Forest. You can even see the Zugspitze, the highest mountain in Germany from there. Besides enjoying a walk in nature there are a lot of possibilities to learn about the animals that live nearby, optical illusions, the forest itself, ... Perfect location for the whole family! Take good foodwear. If you want to you can take the path back through the forest, with an uneven path. Beautiful to see in all seasons. Muddy on rainy days.
7. Veste Oberhaus

Within the almost 800-year-old fortification Veste Oberhaus you can experience living history. With an enclosed area of 65.000m2 it is one of Europes’s largest preserved castle complexes. High above Passau within the historic walls of the fortification the Oberhausmuseum presents exciting exhibitions from the Middle Ages to the present day. The displays of ancient archaeological finds, medieval weapons and armoury as well as stunning gothic panel paintings invite you on a journey through the past. The Veste Oberhaus also houses a Youth Hostel, an observatory and a restaurant. From the castle’s view point “Linde Battery” you can enjoy the unique panorama of Passau’s picturesque old town and the confluence of the city’s three rivers, the Danube, the Inn and the Ilz. Another highlight of this impressive European cultural monument is the chapel of St. George at the heart of the castle with its magnifcent gothic frescoes.

One of the finest castles in Europe and the view of the Passau is on a next level. Highly recommended to go to the top of the hill to have the panoramic view of this majestic city.

Liberation Hall is a magnificent building well worth a visit even if it is closed. I visited it on a sunny Sunday and as expected it was quite crowded but on an acceptable level. The building was closed due to epidemic regulations but the restaurant and toilets in the tourists information were open. Restaurant of course for to go only. I enjoyed my visit here and will for sure come back once it gets open.
