Veste Oberhaus in Passau, Germany

I took this pic of Veste Oberhaus (Oberhaus Fortress) from the town hall square in Passau. From this fortress, one has a great view of the three rivers of Passau, which are generally visible in three different colours: Danube (Blue), Inn (Green) and Ilz (Black).

Detail of Veste Oberhaus showing the date 1499

The year visible in the middle of the fortress (“1499”) still shows an old “4” which was written like a half “8” in earlier times.
