Pretzels and Beer in Passau, Germany

by Marian Krueger, in category Destinations, Dining, Germany

Looks can often be deceiving and upon first inspection you might not even give this place a second look. But if you were visiting Passau for the first time, you’d be crazy not to visit Brauerei-Gaststätte Peschl-Terrasse.
