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 named “River Landscape of the Year” in 2002/2003 was awarded. Around the historic market square, the character of an old market town has been preserved; the remains of the medieval Hals castle ruins sit atop a rocky promontory above the town. Small local amenities and places to stop, 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 Halser reservoir, with its sunbathing lawn and river bathing 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 reliably connect Hals with Passau city centre. The Old Town, with St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Rathausplatz and the university, can be reached within a few minutes by bus or bicycle – or on foot via a walk along the Ilz. Shops for daily necessities are located in the wider surrounding area; the A3 motorway is approximately 10–15 km away.

Conclusion
A two-room apartment with character at an unusual address: peaceful and historic on Halser Marktplatz, with the Ilz, castle ruins and reservoir right on the doorstep – and Passau’s Old Town within easy reach. Ideal for anyone wishing to combine proximity to the city with nature.
