F*cking is a lovely place & NO bad word in Austria, and it is really not in a big distance from Passau ! Get to Braunau am Inn first, and then it is just a few more km.
To be honest, there is NOTHING else to see than the signposts, that also make no sense at all in Austria. This place is pronounced FOOKING, and only a few people live there at all.

Braunau am Inn is a small town of 8000 inhabitants on the German/Austrian border. ( about 25 Km south of Passau).
Braunau is well known for lots of lovely houses on the mainsquare, and a great townhall (on the left, below on my pic ), 2 old towngates and a really interesting church with plenty of great works of art.
Braunau is also known as A.Hitler's birthplace but almost nobody there will ever tell you, where the building is. It is a home for mentally disabled persons today and not open to the public.
When driving on the highway Passau-Linz, you will pass by Braunau .

Ried im Innkreis is a small town in Austria, maybe 30 km south-east of Passau.
Most tourists will pass by it without stopping, as they mostly do not know , why to go there.
If you love baroque churches - THIS is THE place to go !!!
This church looks rather simple from outside, but it is absolutely great from inside !
All walls and the ceiling are covered with paintings and ornaments on a special pastell-toned ground.
Everything fits and matches to a perfect work of art !Go there during the day, the church is open for visitors without entrance-fee.
Also the town-square looks interesting with lots of colorful baroque houses.
Ried im Innkreis has it's own train-station (www.oebb.at) and is situated 8 Km off the highway A1 Passau-Linz (40 Km west of Linz)

Pilgrims come here to pray. In fact there is roofed over stairway, where pilgrims go up to the church while praying.
Just an interesting church with nice view on surroundings.
