De Hoge Rielen is a youth centre that offers quality accommodation (buildings and camp grounds) to
groups and individuals. De Hoge Rielen has a major asset: it’s pure nature. Respect for the environment

sports activities. No one will ever have a dull moment here!
De Hoge Rielen was once a military domain. Today, freedom is the dominant force here. Whatever
people want to do: we will do everything possible to boost creativity and stimulate initiatives of our
guests.
Our forest is one of the largest children’s and youth domains in Flanders, it’s over 230 ha. It’s a delightful
destination for people with a youthful spirit. Each group has its own spot on the domain. Young people
come to de Hoge Rielen for multiday group activities, a youth camp, with school, for welcome days or a training. The domain offers many possibilities such as sleeping accommodations, camping facilities and campfire places, nature to play and hike in, a theatre, a sports hall, a bar and a restaurant.
