Passau

Would you like to go on a slightly different trip?

Then start your journey from the Hotel Bergknappenhof to Passau , the charming city of three rivers.

Passau enjoys a unique location, surrounded by the Danube to the west, the Inn to the south, and the Ilz to the north. In bygone eras, ships transported crusaders, heroes, and adventurers. Today, you can enjoy the stunning scenery from the water. Take a short cruise or a daytime excursion, or a romantic nighttime cruise. Danube river cruises play a central role around Passau , whether for short trips or longer cruises.

The Veste Oberhaus, an imposing European cultural monument, is one of the most powerful castle complexes in Europe. From 1932, the fortress belonged to the city of Passau, which set up its museum there. Numerous permanent exhibitions as well as changing special exhibitions invite you to linger. Another cultural highlight is the Prince-Bishop's Opera House, where you can expect plays, musical theater, chamber music or symphony concerts, from antiquity to the avant-garde. A large number of museums enrich the offering, for example the Cathedral Treasury and Diocesan Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Passau Glass Museum or the Roman Museum at Boiotro Castle, to name just a few.
