Ilztal railway romance and a picturesque view of Passau Since its reopening in 2011, the Ilztal railway line has made it possible – a hiking route along the Ilz up to the Veste Oberhaus with a unique view of the three-river city of Passau. Just before Passau, we reach the nature reserve »Halser Ilz loops« with the tunnel built around 1830 for timber rafting. Wood from the mountains in the back Bavarian Forest was transported on the Ilz down to the Danube valley. With the construction of the railway at the end of the 19th century, the timber rafting came to an end and today the hiking trail leads through the tunnel.
