For 100 years now, youth hostels have been representing values whose pursuit makes life richer. For all those who go through life with their eyes open and wish to share the community experience; who travel with a lively curiosity about the world and other people and seek an intensive encounter with nature, the environment and culture.

Shining eyes and the exciting atmosphere which is generated when you hit it off with others around the campfire are part of this experience. As is the joie de vivre, when young people from all over the world without a common language communicate only with gestures and still manage to establish a warm understanding. Making the first move towards others - with confidence and sometimes in high spirits. Because self-confidence needs no outside constraints when combined with firm resolve. But if we are to bend at all, then perhaps for sport, or when bent double with laughter. Because these are as much a part of a healthy life as are vitamins. And we shall continue to put our trust in the fascination of these values in the future. That is why people trust us.
And have been trusting us for 100 years now.
