Youth Hostel Born-Ibenhorst

Jugendherberge Born

Back to nature: Born-Ibenhorst Youth Hostel is hidden in the middle of the primeval forest of the “Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft” National Park, on the Baltic Sea peninsula of Fischland-Darß-Zingst.

The youth hostel consists of several houses and bungalows in vacation village style. In the separate community building you will find a games room and a cozy fireplace room with a seasonal bistro offer.

Our practical seminar rooms are located away from the guest rooms. Pure tranquillity for concentrated work close to nature. On our large terrace you can enjoy nature and let it work its magic on you.

The outdoor area is spacious and traffic-free - ideal for carefree outdoor activities. There is a mini-golf course, barbecue hut and campfire site, table tennis, a playground and a football and basketball court. There is also a campsite with 35 tent pitches for up to 140 people.
