Our location in the wildly romantic, thickly forested "Harz Mountains National Park", directly alongside the renowned Harzer-Hexen-Stieg, also makes our hostel the ideal centre for family holidays, conferences and seminars.

We shall be pleased to help. We also organise bus trips, sightseeing, project programmes and other leisure activities for your group.

We look forward to welcoming you!
