Oldest Bratwurst/Hot Dog Stand in the World.  Built to help with construction of Bridge in 1135 AD Crystal at the Dachshund Museum in Regensburg.

We did not spend much time in Passau.  To the left is the fortress of the Bishop of Passau (1219 AD).  The Bishop was a very important figure in Germany and Austria.  This is built high on a hill not just to stop invaders but floods.  Passau is on THREE (3) Rivers that differ in color.
