AWO SANO Holiday Center Oberhof
The clean air, peace and quiet and untouched nature of Oberhof invite visitors to come and enjoy an active and relaxing holiday in the Thuringian Forest. The AWO SANO Ferienzentrum is a holiday centre situated in a quiet location directly on the edge of the village of Oberhof and just a few metres away from the Rennsteig Trail. The holiday centre is home to 70 rooms, eight of which have barrier-free designs and a further 20 of which are suitable for guests with walking disabilities. The centre’s own childcare service, the child-friendly restaurant and the welcoming service provided by all employees make every holiday here a relaxing and recuperating experience. The staff at the centre have many years of experience in supporting people with disabilities and are therefore well trained and know how to help in every situation. The holiday centre also contains a multitude of function rooms and is therefore ideal for group trips.
