Our 6th day started off with a steep climb to get a good view of Passau from above. It was a little steeper than I had anticipated and Sue had a bit of a wobble and fell off. Not a good start, but luckily no damage was done to bike or herself. The view of the town made up for the trauma and she calmed down somewhat!
We crossed the river Ilz into Austria and headed into a strong headwind alongside a busy road and the river. Lots of buffeting and noise for 20 km. After that, the route became quieter and much more scenic. The hills either side became steeper and soon we were deep in a valley. The wind still funnelled up the valley making it hard going.
We then found a lovely wooden chalet for lunch, and after a beer and prosecco and a rest, the afternoon became magical.
