<\/a>Spring, Tx., July 16, 2013 \u2014 Europeanbarging announces its 2014 schedule of Danube River Cruises. Like many other Danube cruises, our cruises board and disembark in Passau. Unlike them, we encourage passengers to arrive early (or linger after the cruise) to participate in some of the excursion options to visit the remarkable Old Town section of Passau\u2019s remarkable Old Town. Among the excursions on offer is the Tourist Board\u2019s walking tour of the historic \u201cThree-Rivers-City,\u201d including the fascinating confluence of the Danube, Inn, and Ilz Rivers; a natural spectacle.<\/p>\nPassau\u2019s Old Town was rebuilt during the 17th century, following a devastating fire, by Italian baroque masters and is outstandingly beautiful. The Cathedral of St. Stephen with its three characteristic, onion-domed, green towers rises from the heart of Passau. St. Stephen’s church is the largest Baroque church north of the Alps. Its cathedral organ is the world\u2019s largest, comprised of 17,774 organ pipes and 233 register stops. It offers a special acoustic delight, as all five sections can be played, individually or together, from the main keyboard. Passau\u2019s Old Town has many sites of interest to tourists: The New Bishop\u2019s Residence, many churches, museums, and the magnificent gothic Town Hall. Whether you are looking for romantic lanes, picturesque markets, or enchanting riverfront promenades, you will find the right place to rest and enjoy the unique scenery. Even the Danube\u2019s majestic fortress \u201cVeste Oberhaus\u201d and the Inn\u2019s Pilgrimage Church \u201cMariahilf\u201d seem designed to frame the city\u2019s beauty, as they sit high above the rivers.<\/p>\n
