Passau is a ''Landkreis'' (district) in the southeast of Bavaria. It encloses the city of Passau geographically from two sides. Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Rottal-Inn, Deggendorf, Freyung-Grafenau. To the south it borders Austria. History Archaeological findings prove that the area was settled more than 7000 years ago.
