CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
From Brloh it runs 397 km to Brloh; allow about 7 h 00 of riding. It goes by way of Oberranna - Kleinkastell, Passau Altstadt - Kastell, Künzing - Amphitheater und Vicus and Passau Boiotro - Kastell. It crosses Czechia, Austria and Germany - carry ID and check vignette or toll rules. A steady touring day rather than a sprint.
Speed drops and stays down. Park rather than crawl through. 34 km through ground somebody thought worth listing. The road passes it rather than bypassing it.
Holašovice looks like a village painted from memory by someone who loved it. A long rectangular green sits in the middle, with a pond and a small chapel, and around it stand more than twenty farmhouses with gabled fronts in rich, ornate plasterwork, some in white and pale yellow and some in soft blue. The style is called folk Baroque, or peasant Baroque, and the houses were mostly built in the nineteenth century, when wealthy farmers dressed their gables in a local version of the grand style of the cities. It has been on the UNESCO list since 1998.

Holašovice Historic Village is where the day begins. Next is Oberranna - Kleinkastell.
The Danube between Passau and Linz is one of the loveliest stretches of the whole river, and near Oberranna, on the Upper Austrian bank, it flows quietly between steep wooded slopes, dark and almost gorge-like. Here, beside the water, archaeologists found a small Roman fort, a Kleinkastell, part of the Danube Limes that guarded the northern frontier of the province of Noricum. Its remains are now protected under a modern shelter, and it forms part of the UNESCO listing of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire along the Danube.

Oberranna - Kleinkastell comes up 51 km in. Next is Passau Altstadt - Kastell.
Passau sits at the point where three rivers meet, in the far east of Bavaria, close to the Austrian border: the Danube, which is a cold greenish-blue here, the Inn, which arrives milky green from the Alps, and the Ilz, a small, dark river that stains the water black from the peat of the Bavarian Forest. On a still day you can see all three colours running side by side at the tip of the old town, which is why people call it the City of Three Rivers, and sometimes the Bavarian Venice.

103 km in you reach Passau Altstadt - Kastell. Next is Künzing - Amphitheater und Vicus.
Künzing sits on the Danube in Lower Bavaria, in a broad, fertile plain known as the Gäuboden, and in Roman times it was a place with a name, Quintana. The Romans built a fort here in the second century, one of the posts on the river frontier of the province of Raetia, and a civilian settlement, a vicus, grew up beside it, with houses, workshops and even an amphitheatre. The Danube Limes in Germany, Austria and Slovakia was listed by UNESCO in 2021, and Künzing is one of the places where it is easiest to grasp what daily life along the frontier was like.

Künzing - Amphitheater und Vicus, about halfway. Next is Passau Boiotro - Kastell.
Passau stands at a meeting of three rivers, and the Romans noticed. The Inn, the Danube and the small, dark Ilz flow together under the cathedral hill, and the Inn bank opposite, where the Innstadt lies today, was the site of the Roman fort of Boiotro, which guarded the Danube frontier, the Limes, and commanded the river crossing. The name suggests the Boii, the Celtic people who once lived in this region, and the Roman fort stood in a long line of defences along the river, from here down to Oberranna in Austria.
