gute Jugendherberge in der nähe von Avenches

jugendherberge 700 m von der Stadtmiite in Avenches. Das war meine erste Erfahrung mit einer Jugendherberge. Die Zimmer sind klein aber sauber schliesslich schläft man ja nur dort. Das Personal war sehr freundlich, ich fühlte mich wohl. Das Frühstûcksbuffet war super. Ich komme gerne wieder
