Vacation home by the lake

The lake is located in Emmerich-Elten, right on the Dutch border, and is easily accessible via the A3. Two wooden cottages invite you to relax from everyday stress. Equipped with a fitted kitchen, living room with upholstered furniture and satellite TV, several sleeping options, shower/toilet, terrace overlooking the lake, barbecue and jetty, you can relax wonderfully, swim and row a boat. Fishing is not possible in the lake. Use of the sauna garden can be booked on site. Guest access The Kiebitzsee Although only 25,000 square meters in size, the lake offers a surprisingly large number of different bird species a home. In addition to the mallards, gray geese, Canada geese and Nile geese, little grebes and great crested grebes, moorhens and coots regularly breed here. Regular visitors are herons, cormorants, kingfishers, oystercatchers, herring ducks and shovellers. Only very rarely do you see such unusual visitors as the red-breasted goose, white stork, oriole or purple heron. A similar diversity of species can also be found in the other bird groups: long-tailed tits, cuckoo, great spotted woodpecker, wryneck, nuthatch, winter goldfinch, thistle finch, wren, goldfinch, thorn grass, red-backed shrike, sparrowhawk, little owl and hawk are just a few examples. Fishing is not possible in the lake. Other things to note Your sauna garden To enhance your vacation enjoyment a little more, we have created a sauna garden with a barrel sauna, hot tub, shower and beach chair. To ensure that everything runs smoothly, we ask that you observe the following rules. For the use of the sauna garden, there is a one-time usage fee of 70€, regardless of how often you use the sauna and Hottub. To start, we will show you how to use the sauna and hot tub. If both cottages are occupied by different families, please coordinate the usage times with each other. The sauna and hot tub are wood-fired. Before sweating, however, you have to sweat. You still have to cut the wood to the appropriate size for the stoves. An axe is available for this. Please do not use this wood for the campfire. This should only be fueled with dead wood, which you will find on the property. You will find the switch on the wooden wall to turn on the pumps in the hot tub, the light and the instant hot water heater for the shower. Be sure to switch them off again after use. Please remember. Always close the gate between the vacation homes and the sauna garden. Sauna After each use of the sauna, remember to clean the benches and the floor with water and to clean the stove. The stairs to the lake can become slippery due to fallen leaves. Please clean them before use for your own safety. Hot tub We change the water in the hot tub after each change of guests. Since a little sand or grass is always brought in, we have connected a sand filter with a UVC clarifier. We do not use chlorine. After use, please remember to put the cover over the hot tub so that leaves and insects do not fall into it. If it is too dirty, please contact us and we will change the water. Please also remember to clean the stove. Shower Please do not use shower gel, shampoo, soap or the like. The water is fed into the lake and would then pollute it. The same applies to the water in the hot tub. Have fun and relax at Lake Kiebitz
