Last night was beautiful, with the moon nearly being full and orange. I enjoyed sleeping only with the mosquitonet-tent (that is actually not mosquito proof at all anymore!)
I had a slow morning and it just started to drizzle, when I started walking. However, it didn't last long and the entire day was nice but strangely humid hot.
Following down the Ilz, I had my animal highlight. I just read some information about the dam where I was standing, when I saw something coming from behind. I thought it would be another one of these small dogs. But then I saw, what it was, waddling totally relaxed past me: a beaver!!!! As if it would be normal for it to pass the dam, pass a person and go back into the water. So amazing!!! When I realized it, I took out my camera as fast as possible, but of course I managed only to get a bad shot of its tail.
Then later on, I had a tick crawling up my pant leg and I saw a snake. Quite an animal-day :)
Interesting was the tunnel at the Ilz I walked through, which was made to drift wood more quickly to Passau, avoiding a long leg of the river that is making kind of a loop there.
I passed Passau, which looked nice but didn't go into the old town, only wandered a bit around the castle Oberhaus.
Then there was a lot of nice hiking along streams and at the end of the day, I walked up a viewing tower near Oberfrauenwald, bevor setting up my tent.
Am I lucky to be able to do this!
I like the Beaver, unbelievable!
