				Leaving Passau - where the Danube and Inn Rivers Meet





			Near Grafenau, the Danube loops around the nearby mountains. A very beautiful place to camp.


		A continuation of a trip I started 2 years ago in Ulm, Germany, this trip along the Danube River takes me with a friend, my wife’s cousin, Rudi Wandersleb, from Passau, Germany, on the Austrian border, to Belgrade in Serbia. The picture on the left is the starting point in Passau. Below is a picture of Rudi shortly after leaving Passau.

	Eine Anschlussreise von einer Reise ich vor zwei Jahren in Ulm angefangen habe, diese Reise an der Donau verbringe ich mit Rudi Wandersleb (unten), der Cousin meiner Frau. Sie hat dieses Mal in Passau angefangen und geht nach Belgrad in Serbien. Das Foto links ist Startpunkt.


	We saw several variations of the nymph below - a mermaid on the Danube.




		There were also many “mediation and prayer” stations along the river - usually about 1 kilometer apart.


		Near Grafenau, Rudi is standing next to my tent at Campsite Hotel Nikolaus. The ski hat was necessary. At night, the temperatures dropped to freezing.

	Nearing Linz, Austria, the Danube became very wide. ...and then the rain came.... the first wonderful rainfall I had seen in weeks! Yes, that’s me dancing in the rain.




	I’ve never seen anything like this before. These are column graves. Under each column is an urn with the ashes of the deceased inside. Below is a house-like structure - also with unrs inside.

You’ve got to be kidding me. A longhorn saloon east of Linz. This belongs in Texas! Nice to see a little bit of America on this trip!!!!

Near Mauthausen we met Tilmann Waldthaler, the master of Cycle Touring. Tilmann has ridden 440 thousand kilometers on a bicycle. Currently, he is on his way to New Zealand.

Above is Hermann at the camping place in Grein.
Hermann also has 400,000 km behind him.
