Youth Guest and Educational Center "Rothleimmühle"
The Rothleimmühle youth hostel and education centre is comprised of two buildings: a historical building that was fully renovated in 1995 and an accommodation building with a barrier-free design, which was constructed in 2011. The grounds of the centre cover a total area of 7000m2 and offer a variety of leisure facilities, for example a barbecue area, an outdoor oven, mini-golf, streetball and volleyball, table tennis and a club room with table football and a pool table. The centre also offers supervised leisure activities for groups and families. The “Rothleimmühle” regularly welcomes guests with disabilities. Its staff are therefore well prepared and happy to help.
The centre is situated on the edge of the old city centre and is directly connected to the tram network. Both the Badehaus leisure pool and the large city park are located nearby. The centre is home to six multi-bed rooms each containing three beds for guests with restricted mobility and three single rooms for carers (not barrier-free).
