Austria: Along the Danube
Once Sissy steamed down the Danube, on the way to becoming queen of Austria. From her birthplace Bavaria all the way to Vienna people along the river cheered. Now it's tourists who go downstream. Most of them not by boat, not even by car. Along the Danube the bicycle is favourite.

'St. Pauls church and cathedral in Passau.'
Passau is the last German city before the Austrian border and maybe the prettiest. Here the Inn flows into the Danube and the Ilz as well. You never need to search a long time to find a river front promenade. The Inn is green and the Ilz brown, so whatever people sing about the Danube, this never adds up to blue. Photo Paul Smit.
