In the surrounding area, in the Emstal, it's green as far as the eye can see. So this is the ideal place to get outside and discover nature and the environment! As an environmental study centre and Youth Hostel offering our specialist "Gut drauf" ("Good Mood")programmes, our Youth Hostel is perfectly equipped for nature explorers.
