Youth Hostel Furth im Wald

Description

Holla, the forest fairy! Welcome to the newly renovated and modernized Furth Youth Hostel with its 26 lovingly designed rooms (114 beds), all equipped with their own washing facilities (hand basin). Everything new, everything chic, everything mystical.

In addition, we fill our motto "Experience community" in the youth hostel Furth im Wald with new life: there is a spacious lounge area, a bistro and an inviting dining room. This is where people come together in the evening, talk about their experiences during the day and make new friends.

And for our guests arriving in their wheelchairs, there are 2 wheelchair-friendly rooms (1x twin, 1x four-bedded room with private shower/WC).

All necessary rooms (dining room, lounge, bistro, seminar room on the ground floor) are accessible at ground level.

There is a handicapped accessible public toilet on the ground floor

as well as an exclusive parking space at the entrance of the youth hostel

The youth hostel Furth im Wald is located in the Upper Bavarian Forest. A natural paradise for all - hiking and mountain biking in summer, skiing and wildlife watching in winter, a place to experience stories and tell tales; always in the middle of nature. That's why the youth hostel also says "Welcome to the mystical forest".
