Location & Arrival
Location
Just above the town Blankenheim, in the almost 900-year-old "Castle of the Count", that's where Burg Blankenheim Youth Hostel lies. Despite its peaceful location, close to nature, the hostel enjoys good transport connections thanks to its close proximity to Cologne and Bonn.
