Youth Hostel Aurich

The completely modernized youth hostel is surrounded by space and nature. Cutter trips, bicycle tours, a trip by canoe or a visit to the seal banks - all this and more can be experienced in the immediate vicinity of the youth hostel. 

A stay in the youth hostel will not be boring. Table tennis, a playground, a football field, a music system and a playroom for children are just a few examples of the many leisure activities.
