Day 5 - Danube River from Passau, Germany to Linz, Austria

We left Passau, Germany mid-day and sailed down the beautiful Danube River to Linz, Austria.  Bridges were rather low and sometimes, I felt I could touch them.

We saw several medieval castles and buildings along the way.

Beautiful churches in every village.

Engelhartszell, Austria.

This is a different village from the picture above, but it seems they have the same style church!

More medieval castles!

Quaint Austrian towns.
