Gyms
Participants of the International Forum Altötting can also book accommodation in a gym when registering. This, together with the campground, is one of the cheapest options for accommodation.
Questions and answers
How far from the town center are the gyms?

Is there electricity?
As a rule, individual sockets are available in the gyms. We will do our best to provide multiple plugs. The sockets may only be used for “harmless” things like charging cell phones, but not for “dangerous” things like electric cooking. For smartphone owners, we recommend bringing power banks or other mobile battery chargers.

The Forum participants sleeping in the gyms are also responsible for cleaning. The gym managers coordinate the cleaning and everyone sleeping there should help.

Street shoes must be taken off at the entrance of the gyms.

No. The use of the gym is at your own risk. We recommend that you do not bring any valuables.
To whom can we say “thank you”?
The overnight gyms are usually provided by the town of Altötting and local schools. For this we say a sincere “Thank you”!
