Passau, Germany: Emerenz Meier Bust

The Three River Corner of Passau is a great place for a walk. It overlooks all three rivers in the city, and even has a playground for the kiddies.

While you are there, you might as well pick up a little culture. There's a bust of Emerenz Meier along the Danube.

Meier is considered the most important folk poet in Bavaria's history. She lives from 1874 to 1928. Meier wrote about her homeland frequently during her career. She was formed to move with her family to the United States at one point, winding up in Chicago in 1906. During World War I she was a loud critic of social and cultural forces of the nations on both sides of the Atlantic.
