Youth hostel 't Schipken is located in one of the most quiet, green and water-rich corners of provincial domain De Gavers in Geraardsbergen. You can dive under the sheets in a charming, converted 17th century farm or in a more recent and modern annex. This comfortable youth hostel is located between the banks of the Dender and the Poelaertplas of the provincial domain and is ideal for schools, families and groups of friends. You can also stay there as an individual.

This is a small marina on the Dender, which is part of the provincial domain De Gavers. You can moor your boat there, or rent a boat to sail on the river. You can also enjoy the nature, the peace and the view of the water. The marina is close to the youth hostel 't Schipken, where you can spend the night in a cozy farm.

't Schipke, now a youth hostel, was originally an old skipper's house and residence of skippers who sailed the Dender.
