Through its strong connection to the "Wings of Hope" foundation and its active commitment to social projects, the Labenbachhof makes tourism with a social purpose and shows how travel and aid work can be successfully combined[3]. Every booking at the Labenbachhof is therefore not just a stay, but assistance for children and adolescents in need worldwide.
