There is more than just beech trees in the forest at Skanderborg. All around there are traces of the German Luftwaffe's administrative headquarters in Denmark during World War II. There are several bunkers, of which the two former command bunkers have been converted into Museum bunkers. In the forest there are fire dams and blockhouses, and if you look closely, you can see flat clearings in the forest floor where personnel barracks once stood.
The museum bunkers tell the story of the occupation period, including the Germans in Dyrehaven and Skanderborg, the resistance movement and daily life during the occupation.
Bunker Walk with Guides from Museum Skanderborg
The price for a bunker tour is 100 DKK, including entry to the Skanderborg Bunkers, for a minimum of 15 people.
This tour takes about 1.5 hours to walk, and then you have an hour in the exhibitions, so about 2.5 hours in total.
Disc golf is similar to traditional golf, but instead of a ball and a club, special frisbees called Golf Discs are used.
As in golf, the goal is to throw the golf disc into the hole with as few throws as possible. The hole is a specially designed metal basket, mounted on a steel rod, from which steel chains hang at the top. It is mounted with yellow markings. This is called a Disc Golf basket.
There are different golf discs depending on the length or arc you need to throw.
We offer access to 18 "holes" around the forest and a round can take up to 2 hours, depending on the number of people.
Rental of professional equipment as well as cards and scoreboard DKK 100 per person.

We have significantly reduced our CO2e emissions from food by changing shopping habits, especially by offering more vegetarian options.
In 2023, we cut almost 6% of our food purchases compared to the previous year, resulting in a reduction of CO2e of 8.6 tons, equivalent to a reduction of 9.5%.
This decrease in CO2e emissions is predominantly related to changes in the kitchen, which have reduced the amount of meat and increased the use of legumes and other vegetables.

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