Monday to Passau

Wow. What a morning.  Sunny, warm, and cycling through forest  firstly along the waters edge and then following the railway to the border with germany. This border crossing was closed for the entirety of the cold war.
So across the border into haidmuhle. Climed to our highest point today, around 900m

Uneventful trip through a beautiful small village and onto a rail trail for 25kms of downhill beauty through a tunnel of trees in a heavily forested area.

Arrved at jandelsbrun in no time, and decided to take the bicycle route to passau. Only 25kms 5he gps said.... oh yeah?

Avoiding a heavy shower of rain we retreated for coffee and cake

Then on we went. A lenghty detour with lots of uphill mea t ad day of 68kms became 98 and 1000m climbing. Rout into town was on roads mostly b7sier than we would lime. But we made it. Rooted.

Danube at passau full of cruise ships

Hotel Wildermann. Nice.

A rest, a walk around, a beer, dinner italian restaurant.  Nice.

Mark shopped for a map for tomorrow. Thank god. We know our route! Nice

Sleep.
