Absolutely top place for people on the move, food is good and enough. Camping area is clean and almost everything you need is available. Sauna on the shore and the railings on the stairs to the maintenance building are still missing.

Partly worn out buildings, but good, friendly service, very tasty food with fresh bread, nice professional instructors. Women's wellness weekend and other theme weekends, top notch! Programs for every taste, appropriate breaks. A nice start to a more active everyday life.
