Passau photos

Here are some pictures of Passau. It ia located at the confluence of the Danube (Danau), Inn, and Ilz. I does get some flooding historically. The last big one was 2013. !0 meters above normal.

The confluence of the Danau, left, and Inn, right




Might have been a mill.

If there's a similar building on the other side of the river, they probably stretched a chain across the river at that point to stop barges until they paid a toll, then lowered the chain by means of a windlass.
