Walk to the Veste Oberhaus with AEGEE

Tuesday, 08 April 25 - 18:30

Immerse yourself in Passau's rich history! Our path winds its way to one of the most beautiful vantage points in the city of three rivers. From here, we can admire the many baroque buildings of the old town or let our gaze wander into neighboring Austria. The Veste Oberhaus is a 13th-century fortress that houses a museum and an observation tower, and is a great place to linger. If we're lucky, we will also have the chance to witness a beautiful sunset!
