📍 About the location
The project site is situated within a major tourist hub. The Youth Hostel in Bouillon overlooks the city, offering a stunning view of the Semois and the fortress, one of Europe’s most impressive castles. Magnificent view of the castle and the city, on a wooded site of 18,000m². The Auberge welcomes people from all walks of life in a young and relaxed atmosphere. Bouillon is a town in the south of Belgium, close to the French border. It is famous for the medieval castle of Bouillon overlooking the Semois. The Godefroid de Bouillon Archaeoscope is a famous multi-media attraction on the banks of the river, illustrating the life and times of Godefroid de Bouillon, a former resident of the castle and a crusader. Nearby is the Ducal Museum, which traces the history of the region through art, weapons and folk artefacts.
Please note: Having a vehicle is recommended as the hostel is somewhat secluded, and there is no accessible public transportation available from there.
⚠️ Requirements
The volunteer should speak at least fluent English if no French. Spanish and Dutch are assets.
