What to bring
Bring sheets or a sleeping bag. In case you would forget or prefer to travel light you can hire sheets for 20 Euro/week. If you don't have a yoga mat you can use one of the yoga mats provided.
It is a good idea to take two towels. Soap for washing your clothes. Water bottle as it is recommendable to drink a lot of water during your stay. Warm clothes for cool evenings and a flash light for late August nights.
