passau ~ the 3 rivers city in bavaria

enjoy few impressions from the medieval city of passau in lower bavaria (niederbayern) with its 3 big rivers danube, inn and ilz.
view over the inn river to the city center

and yes, if you know, why is the mutual stream after conjunction called danube and not inn even if inn is twice as wide and its water color dominates the mutual stream for a kilometer or two, please tell me. will you? my guess is that danube is deeper or better known in germany than the basically austrian river inn, but it is just a embarrassing trial to explain something i can't really believe ...
addendum, july 2020: here we go, inn is at passau really bigger than danube, wikipedia says 😂
800 years of fortress oberhaus (festung veste oberhaus)

passau, the 3-rivers-city

we have visited friends near passau (neuhaus am inn), so i have of course enjoyed the opportunity to show this beautiful lower bavarian (niederbayern) city to my wife.
passau, the 3-rivers-town [danube (donau) + inn + ilz]

of course, in spring when all the snow melts, passau is quite often flooded by its rivers :-)
danube (blue) meets inn (grey)

but there are not only rivers in passau, my dears, there are good girls, too
good girl (braves mädchen) + good girls pub
the peschl brewery (founded 1259) is not active any longer. 
unfortunately, only the beer name stayed under the new owners

 good-bye, passau
