In 2018, in our 100-year-old village house, two modern and comfortable apartments with current technology and gas central heating were built, newly furnished and furnished in a total renovation on the entire ground and upper floors.

OUR HOLIDAY HOUSE: Our house is an ideal place for cyclists, peace seekers, and hobby photographers. A third of the storks in Lower Saxony live here in the Elbe valley meadows. Thousands of geese rest here in autumn and year-round herons, lapwings, curlews and red kites can be observed, as well as deer, fox, rabbit and badger. The beaver has also been resident in large numbers for a long time. Well-developed cycle paths along the B 195, the Elbe Höhenweg or the Elbe long-distance cycle path on both sides of the Elbe from Tangermünde to Lauenburg as well as numerous circular tours between 15 and 50 km offer cycling enjoyment through one of the most beautiful landscapes in Germany! It takes less than 30 minutes by bike from Pinnau to the Elbe and from there by bike and pedestrian ferry to Hitzacker, the beautiful half-timbered town on the other side of the Elbe. The Elbe can be explored with passenger ships, barges or covered rafts, for example from Dömitz, 14 km away. Canoeing and fishing is also possible. The forest swimming pool in Jabel or the large outdoor pool in Dannenberg provide refreshment in summer, the beach club at the Dömitz harbor offers a beach atmosphere. Day trips to Hamburg, Schwerin, and Lüneburg or to the Baltic Sea are available by car. Worthwhile destinations in the surrounding area are the Dömitzer fortress, palace and palace park Ludwigslust and the Rundlingsdörfer in the Wendland. Over 15 of the most diverse museums in the area can be visited. In early summer, artists open their studios in dozens of locations for the "Cultural Country Party". There are early historical excavations in Hitzacker and on the Hohbek. There are concerts in Ludwigslust, Dömitz, Bleckede and Hitzacker and for riding enthusiasts a visit to the Redefin stud is a must!
