Jugend & Familengästehaus

The Romantic Road


Located just outside the town walls, this shiny, 186-bed hotel-hostel-guesthouse is spacious and clean-cut. There are two- to six-bed rooms, ideal for couples or families, and facilities include bicycle hire and a cafe. Unless you are travelling with an entire handball team in tow, staff are not permitted to sell beds in dorms to individual travellers, no matter how hard you plead.
