Jugendherberge Passau, Passau, Duitsland

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.
