Danhostel Skanderborg Vandrerhjem

Danhostel Skanderborg welcome all to our hostel located in the middle of a fabulous beech forest. We have a large garden and a beach with a jetty at Skanderborg Lake. Spend time on the shores of Skanderborg Lake in the Lakelands, one of the most beautiful places to rejuvenate the mind and body. Experience the peaceful surroundings of the Lakelands, yet stay close to the town and its many attractions. We provide 16 rooms with private bathrooms and 10 self-contained red log cabins. We have three rooms reserved for meetings and conferences. You or your company can rent the entire hostel if you need a place to speak freely and privately. Come alone or with your family and friends and go fishing, sailing, kayaking, or biking on the many mountain bike trails or go hiking in our famous beech forest. In the middle of the property is our main building - a black log cabin, which was the officers' mess in World War II. We serve a lovely English breakfast each morning. The best thing about Danhostel Skanderborg is the welcome extended to all our guests. Each guest gets great service including a friendly “good morning." This is one of host, Egon Petersen’s, most important rule of thumb after 27 years of service as owner of Danhostel Skanderborg. Skanderborg forms a gateway to the Mid-Jutland Lakelands, one of the most beautiful areas in Denmark. The city is the oldest town in the Lakelands and has a long and interesting history, including that of being a town of the Danish kings. If you walk through the woods, from the hostel, you are just a few km away from the Castle Chapel and the town of Skanderborg. Over the years, Skanderborg has developed into a modern commercial centre with many retail shops, cosy restaurants and cafes, small museums, and a variety of sporting and cultural activities for all ages. Go shopping on the street called Adelgade, or experience Kulturhuset, Skanderborg’s Culture Centre, which overlooks Skanderborg Lake. Two of Denmark’s highest points, Ejer Bavnehøj and Himmelbjerget are about 10 and 20 km respectively from the hostel. With its proximity to the Jutland motorway and railway junction, Skanderborg is also an ideal starting point for excursions to famous attractions throughout Mid Jutland. Our Danhostel is not far from Moesgaard Museum, Givskud Zoo, Aqua in Silkeborg, Randers Tropical Zoo or Golf Club If you are an angler, tourist, student or a family, there is room for you in the deep, quiet forest. This lake is one of the world's best fishing waters with a child-friendly beach in the shallow area nearest to the hostel. Enjoy views of sea eagles, kayaks, red log cabins and the peaceful surroundings. Rent a canoe and sail around the Lakelands. The whole area is dotted with lakes and rivers, where you can fish, swim and sail. Visit Danhostel Skanderborg, experience great service from host, Egon Petersen, and enjoy the town known to host “Denmark's Most Beautiful Festival," a music festival known as Skanderborg Festival or Smukfest.

Idyllic cabins next to the lake

First of all, the location of this hostel cannot be beat! Skanderborg is absolutely beautiful and staying so close to the water is lovely. The cabins are very comfortable and the hostel has canoes you can borrow to go out on the lake. There are also fire pits for an evening campfire. An absolutely wonderful hostel!

Worst place and food ever

Reviewed By piaisabella1984

My family and I went out, for what we thought would be a wonderful evening with great food.but that was not the case. First of all the place was so dirty. After ordering drinks and food we sat for 40 minuets before our drinks came. We waited an hour and a half for our starter and the kids didn’t get their food, until to hours in to the stay. The food was flavorless, cold and not worth to eat and really bad service Do yourself a favor and stay away from this place.

Sophiendal Slotshotel

Hotel

Average but cold

Reviewed By nadiaemmanuella

Unfortunately our "double" bed were 2 single beds being pushed together, which meant that there was no possibility of laying together/in the middle of the bed. Very cold having to stay on two separate beds. Back pillows looked like they hadn't been washed in forever, smelled of dust. There was only an option of 2 bottled waters, where one had expired more than a year ago, and with no option of a Kiosk, restaurant etc nearby, it was more annoying than usual. We turned the heaters on max immediately as we arrived, and 12 hours later, the small room was still freezing. With a thin duvet, and no option of a blanket etc, it was a veeeeery cold and annoying night. no thank you, might as well go camping. same possibilities.

During Covid 19, A Wonderful Birthday Party Was Held.

Reviewed By asamiya2016

Before anyone says anything. Yes the health policies were in place for all the guest. (Thank You Knudhule Badehotel). It was my stepmother's birthday ( I don't know if she had this planned before the pandemic), but it was a very good choose. It was a long brunch party. Tables were set apart which was good, as I didn't know everyone there. Champagne was served as we entered ( pity I don't drink) but I took it. Then after tasting, my husband asked if there was any soft drinks. The birthday "girl" made her speaks and after, table by table we went to the assortment of food laid out. First course. (sorry no photos here). Was told if you didn't want coffee, then you can ask for tea. There were a good selection of them. I had the green tea. Now I thought I would just get a tea bag, but OH NO!!. After a long wait, I got a tea pot of hot green tea...ALL TO MYSELF WOOT!! (Thank You, I loved it) Then we had a break to go out and look around the grounds. Doing that my husband said, do you want to spend two nights here...yes please... We came back in , and the next course was being placed out. And WOW (I took photos). We spend six hours here, it was relaxing. The wait staff were great (Thank You again) Would we go again...ummm YES. Pity their were booked until end of August.
