The P+R Kohlbruck is located about 400 meters above sea level in the south-west of Passau in a remote commercial area that is not very busy, especially at night, near exit 117, Passau Süd, of the A3, parallel to the busy Neuburger Straße, east of Messestraße.

Free parking at Georgsberg in Passau
The Veste Oberhaus on the Georgsberg, 105 meters above Passau, on a rocky spur that drops steeply to the Ilz and the Danube, dates from the 13th century and was the seat of the princely bishop of the Bishopric of Passau. Today, the view of the old town of Passau attracts visitors to the Veste.
The picture of the old town of Passau is dominated by the baroque cathedral of St. Stephen, which is situated on the highest elevation in the old town, with the Inn in the background.
There are free ones towards the east end of the Rennweg on the Georgsberg in Passau Parking spaces on the right side of the street at the sports field opposite the bus parking lot. There are more free parking spaces at the eastern end of the Rennweg on an unpaved parking lot opposite the public toilet in front of the Veste Oberhaus.
The free parking spaces on the Rennweg on the Georgsberg in Passau and at the Veste Oberhaus are approached from exit 116, Passau Mitte, on the A3. The map below shows the ascent by car to the Georgsberg from the old town and the steep descent by bike to the Ilz, very close to the Danube Cycle Path.
If you park your car on Georgsberg for free for the duration of the cycle tour on the Danube Cycle Path to Vienna, then you should consider that you still have the steep ascent with your bike ahead of you when you come back.
You should also consider that the free parking spaces on Georgsberg are probably best for visitors to the sports field or the Veste Oberhaus.
