What makes us special
In Hinsbeck, dreams of circus life come true: talented clowns and budding acrobats can prepare in intensive rehearsals for their first performance. In the contest for the “Hinsbeck-Trophy“, team work and a sense of orientation in an unknown environment are important. The “Astronomy Integration Theatre“ invites school teams to take a journey through time and space. And in the Hinsbeck Forest close by, students can explore nature with all their senses in a playful way. More information on these offers is available from Nettetal-Hinsbeck Youth Hostel or from DJH Landesverband Rheinland.
