Jugendherberge Passau

Passau a city of great cultural interest, lies at the confluence of the rivers Danube, Inn und Ilz, and originated as a Celtic settlement of fishermen, pearl divers and rafters. The cathedral located on the rock promontory that divides the Danube from the Inn marks the start of the well-preserved old quarter with its many narrow alleys. Time honored fortifications such as the Oberhaus stronghold and Niederhaus castle are located on a spit of land between the rivers Danube and Ilz.

The youth hostel is particularly special due to its location in the Oberhaus fortress and its break-taking views of the city at its foot.

Made up of various buildings, extensively renovated in 1998, the hostel provides modern facilities in a historic setting and is suitable for youth groups, families, individuals, school classes and seminar groups.

The property has 127 beds in 26 rooms.

The lates check in time is 21:30 pm.

Location Information

Passau Youth Hostel is located in the 500-year-old Oberhaus fortress on a wooded hill high above the place where the Danube, Inn and Ilz rivers flow together.
Housed in the castle's former tavern, general tower building and blacksmith's shop, it not only provides amazing panoramic views of the two-thousand-year-old city but is also ideal for exploring past eras, whether dark or dazzling.
Excursions can be made to the Bavarian Forest, Austria and the Czech Republic in the vicinity. Passau's unique location on three rivers also predestines it for boat rides and long bicycle tours in the city environs.
