What makes us special
Building social skills – fostering team spirit: the focus of our programmes for school groups are topics such as the prevention of violence and special group experience – with or without the use of the high ropes course. In addition we have recently introduced the possibility for families and leisure groups to enjoy group activities of a special kind during a weekend trip with a programme included. For many activities the hostel’s own high ropes course is available to guests. Safety is the top priority here: all programmes offered are accompanied by experienced and competent team leaders.
