Overlooking Passau Altstadt from the Veste Oberhaus

A panoramic view of Passau's Old Town unfolds beneath an overcast sky as seen from the historic Veste Oberhaus fortress. The river Danube meanders through town flanked by buildings in hues of salmon pink to pastel yellow against the verdant backdrop of rolling hills and distant mountains. A prominent baroque church with twin towers anchors one side while another showcases Gothic architectural elements including pointed arches and flying buttresses. The cobblestoned streets are dotted with pedestrians amidst parked cars reflecting daily life within this picturesque German cityscape.
