Youth Hostel Schweinfurt
Where do the esprit of the industrial pioneers and the cheerfulness of a former free imperial city meet the fresh wind of modernity? In Schweinfurt, of course. The fascinating thing about this 1,200-year-old city is its contrasts. Here you will find modern architecture next to witnesses of past centuries. In the heart of the city, directly on the Main, you will find our youth hostel, an ideal, very central starting point for your get-to-know Schweinfurt tour.
