The 2024 Paralympics start today in Paris. By 8 September 2024, around 4,400 athletes from over 180 nations will be competing against each other in 22 sports in Paris. These include established disciplines such as wheelchair basketball and para-swimming, as well as new sports such as para-badminton and para-taekwondo. The youth hostels in the Rhineland are cheering on the athletes - not only because exciting competitions and top sporting performances can be expected, but also because the games help to break down barriers and celebrate diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessibility in youth hostels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The DJH Rhineland Regional Association is committed to ensuring that travelling to our hostels is possible for as many people as possible. That's why many youth hostels in the Rhineland have accessible rooms, bistros, dining rooms and sanitary facilities. Two hostels - the youth hostels Monschau-Hargard<\/a><\/span> and Nideggen<\/a><\/span> - are even certified with the nationwide standardised \u201eTravel for all\u201c seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
