Fünferlsteg

Fünferlsteg is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge made of steel and concrete spanning the Inn River in Passau. It connects the eastern and western sections of the city, forming a continuous crossing for all types of traffic.

The bridge emerged during Passau's early modern infrastructure expansion and has since defined the connection between neighborhoods. It represents early 20th-century efforts to unite the growing city across the river.

The bridge serves as a natural meeting point where locals pause to watch boat processions and river celebrations from the railings. This everyday use has shaped how people connect with the waterway and each other.

The bridge is open 24 hours to pedestrians and cyclists, providing direct routes to shopping areas and residential neighborhoods. The crossing is straightforward, flat, and easy to navigate between the two sides of the city.

From the bridge, you can see where three rivers meet at one point: the Danube, Inn, and Ilz. This geographical convergence occurs in very few places worldwide.
