Swabian youth education and meeting center

Description

The Swabian Youth Education and Meeting Center Babenhausen (JuBi) is an educational and group house for young people to stay overnight and for seminars.

The JuBi in Unterallgäu offers a variety of possibilities for a stay. In Babenhausen, located on the outskirts of the town, there is a market, a swimming pond, the Fugger Castle and a Kneipp facility. Guests are mostly accommodated in shared rooms, but there are also ten single rooms available. The JuBi has a party cellar, billiards, darts and table tennis room, fireplace room, dining room, gymnasium and group rooms, all easily accessible by elevator. A spacious garden offers opportunities for methodical work with groups, such as a high and low ropes course, as well as a greenhouse and beehives for environmental education. There are also comfortable places for leisure and play, such as a campfire site and a soccer field. The facility's sponsor is the Bezirksjugendring Schwaben (Swabian District Youth Ring), which primarily targets young people. In addition to seminars and training courses, the JuBi also provides educational support to groups from schools and youth work.
