Merlin Hof - Camping on the Edge of the Forest in the Fläming Nature Park

Are you looking for a quiet place to stay for one night while passing through, or would you like to spend a few days surrounded by nature?

Then you’re most welcome!

Nature right at your doorstep

My property, which is about one hectare in size, is located right on the edge of the forest in the beautiful Fläming Nature Park, away from major roads and far from the hustle and bustle of traditional campgrounds. Here, it’s all about peace, nature, and a relaxed atmosphere.

There’s also plenty to discover on the property. A few chickens are part of the farm and roam freely—with a little luck, you might even spot some little chicks.

Nearby Attractions

The site is located just about 10 km from the A9 highway, making it ideal for a stopover on the route between Berlin and the Leipzig/Halle metropolitan area. But you might enjoy it so much that you’ll want to stay a few days longer—there’s plenty to discover in the surrounding area.

The Bräsen Observatory is a special experience. Its quiet location offers excellent conditions for observing the starry sky and even the sun.

And there’s plenty to see right from the Merlin Hof as well: Almost every evening, the sky dazzles with beautiful sunsets and ever-changing, impressive colors.

Camping, Tent Camping & More

Whether you’re traveling by RV, camper, trailer, car, or tent—you and your four-legged companions are warmly welcome here.

At Merlin Hof, there are individual campsites offering plenty of privacy and ample space for yourself. This way, you can enjoy your stay in peace.

A newly built small vacation home has also recently been added to the property; it features three bedrooms, a bathroom with a shower and hot water, and a kitchen, and can be rented separately.

If the vacation home is not currently occupied, campers on the property may use the bathroom in the vacation home by arrangement.

For even more relaxation, there’s also a sauna available on the property.

Use of the sauna is available for an additional fee and can be arranged individually with the host.

And there are already plans for even more comfort:

A separate restroom building with toilets and showers is planned for spring 2027, which will make the stay even more pleasant for our camping and tent guests.

Personal & Uncomplicated

I live here myself, surrounded by nature, and look forward to meeting people from different countries with diverse travel stories.

In addition to my native language, German, I speak fluent English, as well as some Russian and Spanish.

After 30 years working for a multinational corporation, I now enjoy my life as a freelancer, with plenty of time and peace and quiet in nature.

A small, nature-oriented spot

Please note that this is not a traditional campground with entertainment, large restroom facilities, or an extensive range of recreational activities.

The Merlin Hof is a small, intimate, and nature-oriented campground and tent site for people who seek peace and quiet, enjoy being outdoors, and appreciate a laid-back atmosphere.

Whether you’re just passing through for one night, coming with a tent, staying a few days in your RV, or want to rent the vacation home—you’re very welcome!

How did the “Merlin Hof” get its name?

The farm’s name is a tribute to our very special white Labrador, Merlin.

He charmed us from the very first moment and gave this place its name.
