The Dachshund or Sausage Dog Museum in Passau
If you are cycling the Donau Radweg (Danube Cycle Route) and pass through or start from Passau to cycle off to Vienna don't miss Blumen-Seppi's (Josef Küblbeck's) and Oliver Storz's Dackel (Dachshund) Museum. They share a very special passion for the Dachshund. Their love for their four-legged friends is so great that they have opened a Sausage Dog Museum next to Passau Cathedral. They have collected 250 Dackel (dachshund) exhibits. The short-legged dog can be admired in all its facets in 80 square metres. For example, on beer mugs, beer mats, as pretsels, postcards or Nymphenburg porcelain. 250 dachshund exhibits have already been collected by Blumen-Seppi and Oliver Storz.

Recumbent Trike Hire in Germany
Although you can hire bicycles and even
e-bikes in most German cities and towns, few shops or organisations
offer trikes for hire. We have looked at the rental market for trikes
and there are not many companies offering trikes for a one or two week
period. Some shops really only offer trikes for hire as a way of letting
the customer try a various models for a few hours to help in deciding which trike to buy. We will not list these organisations, just the
ones we think offer a weeks hire. We do not recommend any of these companies
nor does omission from this list inply any criticism. In any case it is
not possible to pick up a trike in one shop and drop it off somewhere
else, so you will need to plan a circular route. (Except if you take
advantage of Ostsee3rad's offer to pick you at the end of your trip.
This is not free of charge.) BTW if you wish to put the trike on a
train, make sure it is a foldable trike, because German Railways will
not carry unfolded trikes. AZUB, HPVelotechnik and ICE offer foldable
trikes. If you wish to hire a trike and do not speak German write to the
company of your choice in simple English to reserve your trike/s.
The following companies offer trike rental for more than one day.Ostsee3rad, Olaf Reinike, Lindenweg 41, 23974 Alt Farpen, Germany,
