A very beautiful and idyllic youth hostel with historical charm.The castle character can also be felt inside through the many decorations and design of the rooms.Very nice and competent support from the hostel management and the staff.I was lucky enough to be able to borrow the key to the music room and play on the grand piano.The carer rooms are modernly furnished and have their own bathroom. The remaining rooms are equipped with double-decker beds and are kept simple.The food was good and varied. A rich selection of cheese and cold cuts for breakfast and dinner.When we're sitting together in the yard in the evening, Bodo, our cat, likes to come over and cuddle. 😃The youth hostel is easy to reach by car. Parking is available in a large parking lot right next door.
