A very unusual gymnasium
Bad Tölz lies in Bavaria, between Munich and the Alps. The area surrounding this spa town might have been taken from a picture book: meadows, woods, lakes, green valleys and the rushing river Isar. The town now has a new attraction: the “eMotion Base”.
Bad Tölz Youth Hostel is particularly appealing to active people. Hikers and cyclists will find may interesting routes. Guests can rent bicycles in summer and toboggans and snow shoes in winter. The property also boasts Speedsoccer and parkour facilities; this 13-stage obstacle course is unique amongst youth hostels in Germany.
The course helps train your strength and your mental balance. The parkour is not only physically beneficial, it also exercises your sense of balance, your concentration and your focus.
Apart from the numerous possibilities for activities in nature the youth hostel now includes a building for indoor activities; the “eMotion Base”. This is more than just an ordinary gymnasium. It’s a circular multi-functional room designed for effective movement training. It has a diameter of 15 metres and offers enough space for up to 30 people. 1,500 LED lamps light up the interior and the exterior in 16 million colour combinations. The lighting and sound system are designed to arouse emotions and hence encourage social, mental and emotional training. Guests in the youth hostel may use all of the facilities independently but can also request the guidance of a qualified coach.
The “eMotion Base” was developed in cooperation with the orthopaedist Dr Werner Klingelhöffer, an expert in sports kinesiology. Thanks to his contribution, Bad Tölz Youth Hostel has made its name as a training centre for sports, exercise and health. His method is based on medical, scientific and psychological aspects. A stay in the
youth hostel in Bad Tölz will encourage your own talents as well as social competencies in a team. Many sports teams, youth groups, school classes and families have enjoyed the attractions offered here.
If you would like to do more for your body and mind, you can visit the nearby sports park, which has a climbing centre, an ice-skating rink, swimming pools, a gymnasium and much more.
The youth hostel has 186 beds in 45 rooms, all equipped with a shower and toilet.
