It is interesting to note that travelling overland in Europe now is so easy that you can be in another country without realising it if you are not alert. There is no longer the usual immigration procedures, custom checks or the security screenings that are still carried out in other parts of the world. Imagine what would happen if such a situation exist say at the border of Mexico and the USA or at Bukit Kayu Hitam and the border with Thailand , - a ' world without borders ' . I leave it to you to imagine.
We left Engelhartszell in Austria about 25 kilometers from Passau in Germany and after about 20 kilometers cycling along the Danube we entered
Germany . There is only a small signboard along the trail to say that you are leaving Austria and entering Germany .
Passau is located near the Austrian and Czech border is on three rivers, Danube, Inn and Ilz. Passau is also called ' gate to the Black Sea '. Passau - the attractive young old city is full of history and culture and in 2012 Passau celebrates its 350th anniversary as a town built in Italian baroque style. The magnificent St Steven' s Cathedral situated on the old town's highest point boast of housing the world's largest cathedral organ. The organ has 17974 pipes, 233 stops and 4 carillons, ( for those who know something about church organs ). All five parts of the organ can be played from the main key board , one at a time or all together, offering the visitor unforgettable acoustical delight. Passau has many other attractions like the Glass Museum, Museum of Modern Art, and the Roman Museum 'Kastell Boiotro'.
At Presenbeug , in Austria I was interviewed by a journalist Johann, and an article appeared in the local newspaper the following day and here in Passau I was again interviewed by another reporter. There should be something in the local papers too, but I wouldn't know unless I read the local papers.
I haven't yet decided which route to take in Germany, but as Germany is a fairly large country it will certainly take some time. Any suggestions?

Friendly Germans in Passau
That's one 'Big' German, Wolfgang the local reporter
