A membership card from the National Youth Hostel Association is required. Hostels are classified from 1-5 stars. Rooms are often available for rent in farmhouses. Visitors stay as paying guests of the family and, although it is not expected, are welcome to help with the daily chores of the farm. Alternatively, in some cases separate apartments are available close to the main farmhouse.
Many farms have their own fishing streams.
All holiday homes and farmhouses are inspected and approved by the local tourist office. Introductions between families interested in home exchange for short periods can be arranged. The major expense for participants is travel plus a fee of DKr500.
