Today, 17 January, is Throw Your Resolutions Overboard Day. It is not really known who exactly created this day. It originally comes from the USA as \u201eDitch New Years Resolutions Day\u201c. What exactly is this day all about? Perhaps it is to remind us that we are not alone if we have given up on our good intentions so early in the year. But perhaps it is also meant to spur us on to persevere and stick to our resolutions.\n<\/p>\n
Whether it's about eating healthier, exercising more or spending more time with the family. It's worth not giving up on your good intentions too quickly. Do you need support? We are happy to help!<\/p>\n
The youth hostels in the Rhineland focus on a healthy and balanced diet with fresh ingredients. The topic of \u201ehealthy eating\u201c is particularly close to Susann Losseff's heart. She is the kitchen manager at D\u00fcsseldorf Youth Hostel and last year, together with the Rhineland regional association, published a cookery book with vegetarian and vegan dishes. You can find many recipes that make it very easy to eat healthier and less meat in our blog, on Instagram<\/span><\/strong> and Facebook<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. Enjoy your meal!<\/p>\n Have you resolved to exercise more? That's good! A stay in one of our youth hostels is a great way to fulfil this resolution. Many hostels offer direct access to hiking and cycle paths<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. With many of our Active holidays for families<\/a><\/strong><\/span> or our Group travel<\/a><\/span> is it also sporty: climbing, canoeing or stand-up paddling? Try it too and maybe you'll find your new passion with us.<\/p>\n Stress is unhealthy! A good resolution is therefore to consciously take time out from everyday life and develop methods to reduce stress. So how about spending a weekend at a youth hostel near you more often? Just get out and take a deep breath! Incidentally, this works particularly well with \u201eforest bathing\u201c. Shinrin Yoku, which has long been used in Japan to promote health and manage stress, is the mindful immersion in the forest, where you consciously perceive the natural environment with all your senses. This practice helps to reduce stress, strengthen the immune system and promote general well-being. For groups of 10 people or more, Bad M\u00fcnstereifel Youth Hostel offers a supervised programme on the theme of \u201eForest bathing<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u201c, where you immerse yourself in the forest with a professional.<\/p>\n Want to live more frugally in the new year? Stay in our youth hostels at particularly favourable rates. Families in particular benefit from our savings packages and specials, such as the Special offer 3-for-2<\/a><\/span><\/strong> or the 3 and 5 days family time out<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. You can find all the information you need on www.jh-familien.de<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Spend more time with people who are important to you - a good resolution and not that difficult to realise. Because the rule here is: quality before quantity! Why not spend a relaxing weekend with your family in one of our youth hostels? In addition to favourable promotional prices and specials, we also offer Weekend packages<\/a><\/span><\/strong> and Active holidays at the weekend<\/a><\/strong><\/span> where you can experience so much. With groups of family and friends, you benefit from almost 50 Group trips at the weekend<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. In addition to two nights' accommodation including full board, an exciting programme module is also included. Are there lots of you? No problem: some youth hostels in the Rhineland can be booked exclusively for your own use. Our Rhineland service team will be happy to provide you with more information: 0211 - 3026 3026, e-mail: service@djh-rheinland.de<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n According to our statutes, nature conservation and environmental protection are part of the founding idea of the youth hostels. In addition, Oliver Mirring, Managing Director of the DJH Rhineland regional association, has made it his mission to lead the youth hostels in the Rhineland to climate neutrality by 2030. Energy-efficient refurbishment plays a major role in this. Last year, for example, photovoltaic systems were installed on the roofs of the Xanten, Bad Honnef, Cologne-Deutz and Neuss youth hostels. Guests at D\u00fcsseldorf Youth Hostel, which has been equipped with a PV system since 2023, can also use the solar power to charge their electric cars.<\/p>\n So it's not that difficult to realise your good intentions. You can find all information about our offers on www.djh-rheinland.de<\/a><\/span><\/strong> and in our Information materials<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. Want to stay up to date?
