What's on

On Saturday, 20^th of March, the youth hostel Echternach invites you to an all-day workshop on ‘intuitive archery’. You will have the opportunity to become familiar with bow and arrow and try out the basic techniques. The participants will aim with their whole body and work without special techniques to hit the target. Body tension, concentration and self-perception are the key to success.

In the morning, technique and material knowledge are on the programme. The participants get used to the new material, try to shoot at the target and work out the optimal technique. At lunchtime, a delicious meal is served in the ‘Melting Pot’ restaurant of the youth hostel (if the current situation allows it). In the afternoon, the material will be thoroughly tested with new energy. The participants will play different games and try to optimise their accuracy.

If you would like to combine this workshop with a weekend trip to the oldest city of Luxembourg, why not reserve a bed at the youth hostel in advance?
