"Die HEILSBACH"

HEILSBACH education and leisure center

The Heilsbach is a church foundation under public law and sees itself as a multifunctional and cross-age facility. We welcome all guests who are looking for physical relaxation, recreation in nature and education for mind and soul. With its unique location, the Heilsbach is an oasis in the middle of the Palatinate Forest, away from the village or city and offers a distraction from the stress and hectic pace of everyday life. We focus on the essentials and thus create the best conditions for our guests for seminars, conferences, further education and training, as well as camps for groups of adults, young people and children with and without disabilities.
