Youth Hostel Walchensee
Description
The foothills of the Alps in front of your nose, breakfast with a view of the water, the first surfers gliding over the waves: This is what awaits you in our youth hostel at Walchensee with its 101 beds. Even the Bavarian fairy-tale king Ludwig II marveled at the lake. We created our alpine-romantic house in the quiet of the forest. We are a certified "alpine study place". Big and small nature lovers get to know and understand the alpine culture and nature with us. This is ensured by our pedagogically accompanied adventure programs.
