A very cozy youth hostel in the middle of the forest in the heart of the Ore Mountains. There is a large area with a sports field, fireplace and plenty of seating. The sports field offers opportunities for football, basketball and volleyball. There is also a table tennis room.The staff was extremely friendly and the food was also very good.The rooms were perfect, only the beds and blankets were a bit short, but this is probably less noticeable given the average size.There is a cozy Hutzenstuub which serves as a lounge and was always accessible.In general, the hostel is highly recommended, especially for school classes. The limited cell phone reception wasn't a problem at all and, on the contrary, was actually very beneficial.

Super nice place to relax in nature as a family for a few days. The rooms are very simple and the bathroom is in the hallway. There is only one socket and you can hear what the neighbors are saying. There was no internet either. The surroundings are fantastic! There is a stream with a small waterfall that flows through the property. There is a fire pit and a soccer field and plenty of places to hang out and soak up the sun. The staff was super nice and the barbecue evening under the linden tree on the last evening was a great finale. There is a beautiful playground and the steam train station within walking distance. Beautiful hiking trails through the forest and along streams. We'll definitely be back. Thanks for the great time!

If you love nature and like clocks, this is the best place to unwind. Toilet and shower in the hallway are not luxury but honestly who needs that. It can also be rustic. If you love nature, you've come to the right place. The personnel is very friendly and courteous.

The youth hostel is located a little away from the town in the forest. It is a typical older Erzgebirge house with low floors. The rooms are sporadically furnished but are sufficient. It's just a youth hostel and not a star hotel. We were there as a soccer team and had the hostel almost to ourselves that weekend. We were able to set up in the Hutzenstube and also play table tennis. Skis and sledges were also available to rent cheaply on site. The breakfast was sufficient and the staff were very concerned about our well-being. Even small special requests were readily fulfilled. There was also a restaurant nearby that was within walking distance. WiFi was available for an additional charge of 3 EURO for 24 hours. All in all we were satisfied and will definitely come back.
