The surrounding

Directly in front of the house, the forest of the park of nature Maas-Schwalm-Nette is located, which invites for hiking, cycling or for cosy walks. Also the Krickenbecker lakes with the popular castle Krickbeck can be reached fast and are a worthwile destination for bird-lovers. Whoever is on the road with the bicycle, will be glad about the proximity to the cycle-paths “LowerRhineRoute“ and “Fietsallee at the Nordkanal“. Also wheelchair users can enjoy the beautiful surrounding on the excellent wheelchair-path. The popular city of Venlo in the Netherlands is located just approx 20 minutes`drive.

Our house

Doubtless, the highlight of our house is the original circus tent- for families, children and school classes the perfect place for the circus-leisure time. Wherelse can one delight his crowd so good as an artist, fire-breather, clown or juggler? Especially parents, teenagers and conference attendees do appreciate the uptown tastes equipment- so for example every room has its separate bath. Sports- and playgrounds are inviting for playing and frolicing around. Our house is certified by the ADFC ( Allgemeiner Deutscher Fahrad-Club e.V.) as a cycle-friendly accommodation. Cyclists appreciate the special service of a “bed&bike“ accommodation.
