Youth hostels in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Burgrain, moun10, Mittenwald, Oberammergau and Walchensee-Urfeld had a good year in 2023. The number of overnight stays rose to 132,000, an increase of 13 percent compared to the previous year.
The return of school classes after the Corona years is primarily responsible for this. However, things are looking worse again this year, especially because there was no snow again, says Daniel Eisfeld, hostel manager at the Oberammersgau youth hostel. The positive development of the school trips also contributed to the positive development, he says.. In order to counteract energy costs, Kirschschke, Kirchschke and Kirschkirche have opened youth hostels. In the Moun10 district, the number of stays rose by 13 percent to 35,000 overnight stays, with the best year since the end of 2018.
