Youth Hostel Stralsund
DJH Youth Hostel Stralsund has 199 beds in 51 rooms and several buildings. Two new bed houses opened in 2015, the lower floor, which is completely wheelchair accessible, each with four guest rooms with private bathrooms and a common room. The total bed capacity for wheelchair users is 24 in 13 rooms. The youth hostel is located on the Devin peninsula at the gates of the Hanseatic city - idyllic in nature and yet very close to the highlights of the UNESCO World Heritage City. The swimming area with a sandy beach right next to the youth hostel is mated by the city in summer and is accessible by wheelchair.
