Introduction/specifics

The city of Horb am Neckar is our sponsor.

Our facility is located in the Horb district of Mühlen.

Rooms

Our children have 2 group rooms at their disposal, each with an adjoining room and a second play level. Here they also have the opportunity to retreat, e.g. to the cozy cozy corner. Our entrance area is a cloakroom and exercise room at the same time. The furniture, as well as the kitchen and sanitary facilities are child-friendly. Via a terrace we reach our large playground.
