Ironcity Posted December 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Greetings all... Does anyone in or around Passau know whether Zum Gruen Baum (Hollgasse 7) has reopened post flooding? It's our favorite spot to eat, we'll be there in a few days via the Viking Bragi, but things don't look hopeful from the restaurant's website. If not, any suggestions for a similar substitute? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare notamermaid Posted December 6, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Hello, as websites are not always updated regularly, perhaps you could send an e-mail to the tourist information centre in Passau? Or phone them, they are used to tourists and English-speaking guests. :) The web page is: http://english.passau.de/Home.aspx Just navigate from there. And while writing this I can see a nice cruise on the webcam docking right in the foreground. :) I like the quirky bistro café next to St. Peter's church, but it is not a typical restaurant. Have a great cruise. notamermaid It has started snowing in the Middle Rhine valley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted December 7, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 7, 2013 According to their website they are still closed. You might check out their second restaurant Zum Fliegerbauer http://www.biowirtshaus.de/zum-fliegerbauer/ steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is cute and reasonably priced. We were the only Americans there, surprising since it is right by the cathedral,but most people seemed to be locals.

Yes, Café Greindl, that's the place I meant. :D Had forgotten the name. :o You go through a passageway to the Café, right there on the left is a shop fuuulll of chocolate. Irresistible! The café has a lovely view as well as an unusual interior and is off the (English-speaking) beaten track. notamermaid 46 F today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passau is a beautiful city filled with resilient people who all pulled together to recover from the June floods. If you get a chance and are physically able, a walk across the bridge and up to the castle that overlooks the city is well worth the effort. Panoramic vistas from the castle built in 1499. Have a great visit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jc foster Posted June 29, 2014 #11 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Remy Diva, those are nice photos. We read of the flooding on this forum, but I never realized that the water got that high. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
