Luxury and exclusivity in our tipis

A meeting full of people who stand out from the crowd. Imagine a room in the middle of nature. Imagine green beech trees as far as the eye can see, a quiet breeze from the lake making your fire flare up, and the kettle with today's lunch simmer.

Throughout the day, everything has been taken care of, from the morning a light breakfast, coffee on the kettle and some snacks while you have watched your manager talk about the new strategies that will be emphasized in the new year, or a course instructor who will talk about a new product on the market.

Lunch is simmering in the pots outside and the smell of a good beer stew spreads in the tipi. The atmosphere is great after a good hearty lunch with a view of the lake.

Now you have to face a choice, should you go with team 1 to play disc golf, or choose from many of the other activities, maybe it's time for a trip on the lake in a canoe with team 2 or Stand up paddle with team 3. You need to move so you can get an appetite for tonight's gastronomic team building with the chef.

Culinary adventure by the campfire

A three-course meal where the tables are overflowing with ingredients and you and your team have to prepare the main course, skinning fish and plucking chicken. You are ready for everything, and especially for your colleague Hannes' task. She will provide the culinary drinks.

The evening ends by the glow of the bonfire with a sloppy lump of dough in one hand and a lukewarm Hannes specialty "gin and tonic" in the other.

After a good night's sleep, the new day is all about strategic planning and meetings about the new platforms to be implemented. Group work takes place with the team on a bench under the green beech. And hunger is satisfied with pulled pork burgers and bean salad over the fire.

The day ends with applause, smiles and a spongy chocolate cake.

Adopt a Bee and Help Another Person

Every time a meeting is held with us, we adopt a bee through our partner Bistad to help another person.
This means that you contribute to ensuring the "S" in ESG while also supporting the honeybee.

Bistad is a social enterprise in Aarhus that focuses on integrating vulnerable citizens through responsible and sustainable projects,
such as beekeeping. Their mission is to create a supportive community where both people and the environment thrive.

Customer Experience

We held a company event

“Praise to Danhostel Skanderborg. A huge thank you for a fantastic experience during our company event with 16 participants.
We can only give our highest recommendations for the place. Our expectations weren’t too high, as you are a hostel and not a large professional conference center. But I must say that our expectations were exceeded. We received great, service-minded treatment. Your rooms are perfect for our type of event, and the location is superb, close to the lake and the forest.
As a huge bonus, we enjoyed fantastic food.”

Er I bæredygtige?

Danhostel Skanderborg is dedicated to sustainability and environmental awareness. Being Green Key-certified and implementing sustainable practices, such as the use of organic products in the kitchen, air-to-air systems, solar panels, and other initiatives, are important steps toward caring for the environment and reducing our ecological footprint.

The Green Key certification is an international eco-labeling program that recognizes and rewards companies in the hospitality industry, including hostels, for sustainable operations and eco-friendly practices. It’s a great way to demonstrate commitment to environmental protection and appeal to travelers who value sustainability.

Using solar panels and air-to-air systems helps to reduce energy consumption and reduce CO2 emissions, which is important for preserving the environment. It is also positive to offer organic products in the kitchen, as it promotes health and sustainable food production.

Such initiatives demonstrate our commitment to caring for nature and preserving it for future generations. We also hold the bronze organic food label.

What is the organic food label?

We are happy to announce that Danhostel Skanderborg has achieved the coveted bronze organic dining label! This prestigious label symbolizes our dedication to sustainability and quality in our dining offerings.

The label requires that at least 30-60% of the ingredients we use are organic, and we are proud to have met and even exceeded this standard. We are now striving to achieve the Silver Organic Food Label, which requires 60-90% of our ingredients to be organic.

What is the difference between a hotel and a hostel?

A hostel is generally cheaper than a hotel. We offer more budget-friendly accommodation, without compromising on quality.

Danhostel has shared facilities such as guest kitchens, common living rooms and dining areas. This gives our guests the opportunity to cook their own meals and save money on restaurant visits. It is also a great opportunity to meet other travelers from all over the world and make social connections.

A Danhostel often has a more relaxed and social atmosphere. Guests are typically open to interacting with each other, which can lead to interesting encounters and new friendships. This can definitely be an advantage if you want to meet people during your trip.

Can I charge my electric car?

We offer access to 4 electric charging stations.
