Youth accommodation Youth hostel

Modern, comfortable, close to nature – welcome to the new youth hostel Gemünd Vogelsang. A learning and event venue that sets entirely new standards opened in spring 2020 at the popular location of the old youth hostel Schleiden-Gemünd.

Nestled in a valley rich in forest and water, in the Eifel National Park, the building with its impressive wooden façade and large transparent window areas fits perfectly into the surrounding nature. The youth hostel is one of the certified national park hosts and is thus the ideal base for numerous outdoor activities.

School classes not only learn a lot about the Eifel National Park and its animal and plant life in Gemünd Vogelsang, but they also benefit from the proximity to the "International Place Vogelsang". The 100-hectare site of the former NS-Ordensburg Vogelsang is now a modern extracurricular learning and cultural event venue. Therefore, cooperation with the "International Place Vogelsang" for school trip offers is even stronger than before. Program offerings around the themes of tolerance, respect, and prevention are supplemented by historically political programs and components.

Choirs, music, and conference groups appreciate exclusive work opportunities with nature-oriented after-work experiences at the youth hostel Gemünd Vogelsang.

Thanks to the unique location on the edge of the village and forest, the new youth hostel Gemünd Vogelsang is also very attractive for families and those seeking relaxation. In addition to hiking and cycling tours, the surrounding area offers many more recreational opportunities: boat trips on the Rur, ranger-guided tours through the national park, and excursions to various destinations such as the visitor mine Rescheid, the wildlife enclosure Hellenthal, or the open-air museum Kommern.

At a glance:

  • 188 beds in 56 rooms, all with shower and toilet
  • 4 barrier-free rooms
  • 7 seminar rooms from 35 - 150 sqm
