    Forgot something at the last hostel and the owner organised that it's send to the next hostel that I will visit.

    Perhaps the best experience I ever had with any kind of accommodation. The house is cozy and clean and the owner is among the kindest men you will ever meet.

    deep in the forest, close to the train line (the train passes every second hour) and close to torrents and river.
