A Secret Place in Passau
In the small German town of Passau, a guide will show you all the local attractions - old churches, a pilgrim's monastery, the inn where all the passing celebrities from Maria Theresa of Austria to Gorbachev stayed. But only a few old-timers, and then only after the third glass of local beer at your expense, can take you not to the Danube, but to the Inn River, and show you a secret place on the right bank between two bushes. According to local legend, at the end of the 19th century, a local boy, not even five years old at the time, tagged along with older kids to the river. It was a hot day, everyone was swimming, jumping into the water, playing. The boy was also not far behind the adults, but apparently miscalculated his strength, swam far out and began to drown. And he had almost drowned, but someone noticed in time, rushed to save him and pulled him out. Right onto the shore near these bushes. At first, he didn't breathe at all, but then he came to and even walked home him...
