Euro Youth Hostel, Bad Gastein

Ever been in the gorgeous Austrian Alps? Summertime in Bad Gastein is what you want it to be. It can be a well needed rest for sore feet, from running around sightseeing the great cities of Europe, or it may as well be an action packed time. We offer paragliding, white water rafting (just 37 EURO), canyoning, mountain biking and endless hiking in the beautiful mountains. THRILLS IN THE HILLS then grilling and chilling. Not to forget is the famous thermal baths just 50 yards from the hostel. Jump into the warm delicious water and recharge your batteries.
