Veste Oberhaus Fortress

Veste Oberhaus is a fortress that was founded in 1219 and, for most of its time, served as the stronghold of the Bishop of Passau, Germany. The fortress is located on the mountain crest St. Georgsberg on the left side of the Danube between it and the Ilz, and dominates the old city of Passau, which it faces across the Danube. Below Oberhaus on the promontory between the two rivers is Veste Niederhaus, part of the fortress system.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,000 reviews)

The Junior suite was very spacious and had so many cute touches. The front desk, staff and dining staff were warm, gracious, and very professional. Had our itinerary been different I would’ve chosen to stay at this hotel for the longest period of time due to how well located it was and how beautiful our room and the hotel are.

I walked up to the castle. I am 52. I found the walk a little strenuous but invigorating. The restaurant has very nice views. Grab a table and a drink and enjoy the views.
