Welcome to the biosphere reserve of Lower Saxony's Elbe Valley! In addition to restaurants and cafes in the mini-city, you will experience a wonderful environment for cycling a few steps away from the house. Milan and beavers are at home here. In the apartment you will find Scandinavian flair, a small sauna and in the garden a swing bench in the trees. We live creatively and sustainably, build organically, design a small permaculture forest garden and look forward to nature-loving holiday guests! The space The small apartment for 2 guests is located in the rear annex of our 100-year-old half-timbered house, renovated in an organic style. We only rent it to non-smokers. The apartment consists of a living/sleeping room with a wood-burning stove and a kitchenette made of light wood (without a dishwasher). It has its own entrance with access to its own sauna and a new small spa shower room. The floor is made of light-colored ship planks, and the walls are plastered with clay. It's not just people who are sensitive to electromagnetic pollution who benefit from the friendly atmosphere, the healthy living environment, the mains disconnection and the option to switch off the Wi-Fi independently as needed. We have organic latex mattresses throughout the house and (on request) Cotonea organic bedding. The 1200 m² garden invites you to linger on the swing bench and in the seating areas. For 2 vacation apartments, we have 3 older free bicycles for adults and 2 for children. Unfortunately, the apartment is not accessible due to the unpaved access through the garden and the steps in front of and inside the apartment. Please feel free to contact us if you have any special requests! Please note: Traffic is being diverted through Bleckede due to a construction site in Dahlenburg until probably June 26: The road in front of the house is currently very busy. Guest access A small sandy path leads to your entrance through the garden over the meadow (no paved path). A key box allows you to check in anytime after 4 pm, but we also welcome you personally. Other things to note We only rent to non-smokers. There is no dishwasher and no TV. Please only enter the natural floors with slippers. Because of the clay construction, we ask you to open opposite windows twice a day for ventilation and especially to ventilate the bathroom after showering. Please no perfumes or heavily scented shaving water. In summer, the garden water pump makes noise when the garden is watered. The sauna is small, i.e., the upper sauna bench is narrow. It gets significantly warmer at the top than on the lower, wide bench. Please keep a distance from the sauna oven, which we cannot provide with safety grids for space reasons, i.e. sauna use only sober and at your own risk. The house is situated in the town of Bleckede on Elbuferstrasse. ATTENTION: Until the end of June 26, traffic will be diverted via the L222 in Bleckede due to a road closure in Dahlenburg! During rush hour and on sunny Sundays, vehicle noise disturbs the peace in the garden, even if it remains quiet inside through double windows.
