Das ist Dom St. Stephen (This is Saint Stephen’s Cathedral), a spectacularly beautiful work of art! My host mother told me that the old city is called Bayerische Venedig, a.k.a. Bavarian Venice because it resembles Italy. | A thousand ships a year (such as Viking Cruises) float down the Danube and stop in Passau. The tourists all come to look at this very spot. This shows how high the water has risen during floods throughout the years. The second highest measurement is from 2013! You may have heard of this massive flood that was televised in the U.S.! One of my new classmates told me last night that the flood was a neat experience because the entire city came together to help! |
