About this apartment

Located directly on the listed, cobblestone-paved market square in Passau’s Hals district, this renovated 2-room apartment with balcony combines historic charm with immediate proximity to nature – while also being connected to Passau’s old town within just a few minutes.

This well-designed 2-room apartment on the 1st floor offers approximately 41 m² of living space, a well-conceived layout and a pleasant living ambience. A particular highlight is the balcony overlooking the quiet and well-maintained courtyard, providing a sheltered outdoor retreat.
The apartment is available immediately and is especially suitable for singles, students or working professionals who value a clear separation of the individual living areas.

Upon entering the apartment, you first reach the bright, open-plan kitchen and dining area with direct access to the balcony. Large windows and the high ceilings characteristic of older buildings create a friendly and airy sense of space. The newly laid vinyl flooring in an attractive plank design blends harmoniously into the overall setting and gives the room a warm, homely atmosphere. The dining area and cosy sitting area can be optimally combined here.
The open-plan kitchen is compact and functionally designed. Short distances make everyday life uncomplicated – from a quick breakfast to cooking together with friends.

The separately located living and sleeping area offers sufficient space for a bed and additional furniture, allowing for individual design. Here too, the new vinyl flooring, large windows and pleasant ceiling height create a friendly living atmosphere.

The bright, tiled bathroom is functionally equipped and features a shower, a heated towel rail and a washing-machine connection.

The apartment pleasantly combines quiet living with a central location. The listed building is part of the historic centre of Passau-Hals and gives the property a special, established character.

An attractive apartment for anyone looking for a compact and well-structured home with its own balcony, historic charm and a pleasant living atmosphere.

The location – Passau-Hals
Hals is an established, independent District in the north of Passau, situated on the Ilz – the liveliest of Passau’s three rivers, which was awarded “River Landscape of the Year” in 2002/2003. The character of an old market town has been preserved around the historic market square; the remains of the medieval Hals castle ruins tower above the town on a rocky spur. Small local amenities and places to stop for refreshments, such as a butcher’s shop and restaurants, can be found directly on the market square.

Those who appreciate nature live here at the gateway to the Halser Ilzschleifen nature reserve – a roughly 90-hectare local recreation area with hiking and walking trails directly along the Ilz. In summer, the nearby Hals reservoir with its sunbathing lawn and river swimming area invites you to swim – a rare luxury for an apartment in the city.

Amenities and transport links
Bus stops are located in the immediate vicinity and provide reliable connections between Hals and Passau city centre. The Old Town with St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Rathausplatz and the university can be reached in just a few minutes by bus or bicycle – or on foot during a walk along the Ilz. Shops for everyday needs are located in the surrounding area; the A3 motorway is around 10–15 km away.

Brief conclusion
A two-room apartment with a balcony and character at an unusual address: quiet and historic on the Halser market square, with the Ilz, castle ruins and reservoir right on the doorstep – and Passau’s Old Town within easy reach. Ideal for anyone looking to combine proximity to the city with nature.
