When you hear about Ingolstadt, do you immediately think of Audi? The Duke's city has more to offer. It captivates with a blend of history, tradition, and modern urban flair. Start your visit outside the gates of the old town in our youth hostel. With 96 beds spread across two to twelve-bed rooms, it provides the perfect starting point for your exploration.

Let's get started - with us.
You'll find us in the historic fortress building, very close to the medieval Kreuztor. Marvel at the mighty barrel vaults spanning the rooms. From our location, you can walk right into the old town of this 1,200-year-old fortress city, full of cultural diversity and a rich museum landscape.

On a quest for traces - horsepower, thrills, and nature
Ingolstadt also has gasoline in its veins. 70 years ago, the city embarked on an automotive future. Take a journey through time at the Audi museum mobile. Experience the history of car manufacturing and the automaker up close.

Want to explore the area outside the city gates? Then we recommend trips to the Keltenmuseum Manching, the Palatine City of Neuburg, or to the Limes at Burg Kipfenberg. Or how about a bike ride along the Paartalradweg to the asparagus fields around Lenbachstadt Schrobenhausen?

For a refreshing dip, head to the adventure pool or the idyllic quarry pond in the recreational area. There you'll also find the wildlife park.

An unforgettable stay
In partnership with our experiential education partner Simply Outdoor, we offer various program packages for 3- and 5-day stays. For example, conquering the former state fortress through a GPS city rally, a team day in the high ropes course, navigating the Danube on a self-built raft, or exploring the Altmühl River on a canoe tour.
