Danhostel Rønde has 15 rooms with 2, 4 or 6 beds – all with en-suite bathrooms and access to a shared terrace. In every room, you’ll wake up to a fantastic view of fields, forests, water, Kalø Bay and the ruins of Kalø Castle.

There is free parking and charging points in the car park in front of the hostel.

Breakfast and conservatory with a view

As a guest at the hostel, you have free access to the guest kitchen, a lounge with games and a conservatory, where you can enjoy the view in peace and quiet. In the kitchen, we always prioritise cooking from scratch using fresh and, where possible, local ingredients. The hostel serves breakfast every day (except between Christmas and New Year).

Surrounded by nature

Danhostel Rønde is located close to the ruins of Kalø Castle, the beautiful forests and trails of Mols Bjerge National Park, the Nappedam marina and lovely cycling, running and walking routes. In Rønde, you’ll find shops, specialist stores, restaurants and cafés – and there’s also a bus station with direct connections to Aarhus, Ebeltoft and Grenaa.

Renovation 2025

During 2025, the hostel underwent a major renovation following many years of preparation and donations from generous foundations. The hostel, which opened in 1939, was in need of an upgrade, partly to keep up with the times and partly to preserve the old, historic building. In addition to energy efficiency improvements, the hostel was fitted with a new kitchen, a conservatory and a viewing terrace.

PGU Rosenholm

Danhostel Rønde is owned by PGU Rosenholm. PGU is an educational programme for young people with special needs. The day-to-day running of the hostel is handled by permanent staff and a group of young people who have chosen the hostel as their work-based training programme. The students are involved in the day-to-day running of the hostel, carrying out tasks such as cleaning, kitchen duties and serving guests – and you’re most likely to come across them on weekdays. PGU has around 40 young people in training and also offers other workshop programmes, whose students occasionally come to help with tasks at the hostel, including the Woodworking Workshop, Media Workshop and Horticulture.
