Cozy fall is here!

Book your fall retreat:

Unwind and come visit us in the Tecklenburger Land! Nestled among the trees of our orchard, separated from the Mittelland Canal only by a dike, you’ll find our circus wagon. Surrounded by nature, you can watch the sunrise and sunset, wave to the deer and squirrels, or simply unwind with a glass of red wine by the crackling fireplace.

In the morning, you can welcome the first rays of sunshine with a cup of coffee on the porch, watch the boats on the fog-shrouded canal, or simply listen to the sounds of the birds and nature.

Afterward, take a walk through the autumn forests, meadows, and fields, and in the evening, head to the sauna park at the nearby sulfur spa to reflect on the day. Or simply discover your private sauna hut right outside your door!

Turn your stay in our circus wagon into your very own RETREAT!

NEW:

Sauna hut with wood-burning stove – warmth, peace, and relaxation

What could be better than warming up by the fire in the sauna after a chilly day?

Rent our wood-fired sauna and make yourself comfortable in its cozy warmth. Bathrobes, sauna towels, aromatic sauna infusions, and wood for 3–4 hours are, of course, included—for a relaxing evening in the sauna with absolutely no extra effort.

Feel free to contact us if you’re interested.

Please note: Currently, only a shower tent with cold water is available for the sauna.

DEEP RELAXATION WITH SOUND & YOGA:

To deepen your relaxation and truly connect with yourself, you can book a soothing sound bath, a yoga class, or a sound massage (also for two) as an add-on. See below for more information.

WHAT THE CIRCUS TRAILER OFFERS:

Our completely self-sufficient and insulated circus trailer is fully equipped with Wi-Fi, self-generated green electricity, running cold water, and a rapid-boil kettle (with temperature preset), facilities for making coffee and tea, an induction cooktop, a refrigerator, a fireplace, infrared heating, dishes, dish soap, and much more. Bed linens and towels are also provided. Of course, you’re also welcome to bring your own linens if you prefer. You’ll find a dry-separation toilet, which is cleaned regularly, next to the wagon. In the summer, you can use a shower tent. A fire pit and a swivel grill are also available. You can get firewood from us in exchange for a donation. That’s glamping at its finest!

You can start hiking right from our farm—hiking trails begin right at your doorstep. The premium hiking trails of the Teutoschleifen and the extensive trail network of the beautiful Tecklenburger Land beckon. Go for a jog along the canal or take endless bike rides through meadows, fields, and forests, or even make a detour to the nearby Marina Recke and the outdoor forest pool, as well as the area’s climbing spots (e.g., the Dörenther Cliffs). In the evening, enjoy a glass of red wine right by the canal, on the cozy seating area among the fruit trees, or on your own balcony by the circus wagon with a view of the passing ships—these are the simple yet wonderful pleasures your stay with us offers. And if the weather happens to be bad, you can simply head to the nearby Schwefelbad Steinbeck with its sauna park and indoor/outdoor swimming pools. We’re happy to provide you with more excursion tips, maps, and a guest folder with information.

Here, you’ll hear the little owl hooting at night, the woodpecker pecking during the day, and in the morning, curious deer sometimes stand right outside your window. Thanks to the large bird sanctuary at nearby Heiligen Meer, our garden is a playground for all kinds of birds.

We keep a colorful flock of chickens and run a small on-farm beekeeping operation with great care. You can watch the hardworking bees right from your window. Depending on the season, you can purchase our farm-fresh products—such as colorful organic eggs, honey, and fruit from our garden—right here on the farm. Despite our rural setting, bakeries and village stores are very close by—you can reach them on foot or by bike in just a few minutes.

Upon request, we can also provide you with 2 rental bikes (no e-bikes) for a small fee.

Breakfast service? No problem! Upon request, we’ll bring you a breakfast basket in the morning filled mostly with organic products.

Osnabrück, Lingen, and Rheine are just a 30-minute drive away.

Upon request, we offer relaxing yoga classes, immersive sound journeys (gongs, antique and crystal singing bowls, and many other delightful instruments), as well as sound massages.

Highlights:

* Sound massage, 60 min (49 €)

* Partner sound massage (sound massage for you and your loved one(s)) (80 €)

* Yoga classes (private lesson 50 €)

* Sound relaxation (private sound bath: 50 €)

* Wellness package: When you book a sound massage that includes a sauna, you’ll receive a 10 € discount

* Farm-fresh products (honey, eggs, and more, depending on the season)

* Breakfast basket with organic farm-fresh products (homemade jam, honey, eggs from our farm chickens) as well as rolls, organic butter, and organic cheese—€9.90 per person

We donate 1 euro per night to NABU and the local animal welfare association.

As you lie back and relax, you can let go of the stresses of daily life and experience deep tranquility. The gentle vibrations and sounds promote relaxation, regeneration, and a sense of inner balance. You don’t have to do anything except lie back and relax. A soothing break for body, mind, and soul.

As you lie back in comfortable clothing, singing bowls are gently placed on and around your body and struck. The delicate sounds and vibrations spread out and can promote deep relaxation. The nervous system calms down, muscles relax, and stress is reduced. Treat yourself to this special break.

I use high-quality singing bowls and other instruments rich in overtones, such as the monochord, crystal instruments, gongs, drums, and much more. This makes every experience unique.

  • We enjoyed the absolute peace and tranquility. Pure nature. The beds were made, so we could relax right away. Olaf and Stefanie are easygoing, friendly, and helpful hosts. What took a little getting used to were the composting toilet and the shower tent. Both serve their purpose—though we are a bit spoiled, after all. 😉

  • Our stay was absolutely magical. We were allowed to set up a tent in the orchard so the kids could sleep in it. During the day, we jumped into the canal or roamed through the woods. We’d love to come back!

  • Great location—great hosts! We (two friends from Aachen and Cologne, respectively) had the pleasure of staying with Steffi and Olaf in their circus trailer for two nights. We felt right at home from the very first minute and enjoyed our time there to the fullest. Communicating with the hosts was wonderfully easy and very friendly. The circus wagon is a real gem—beautifully decorated with great attention to detail. The bed is so comfortable that we stayed in bed much longer than we’d originally planned. All in all: we’ll definitely be back! Thanks for this wonderful getaway in your little paradise :-) Rebecca & Anke

  • It was quiet, relaxing, and idyllic. The construction trailer has everything you need. Olaf is a wonderful, easygoing host.

  • The circus wagon is super cozy and beautifully situated. It’s surrounded by nature and very quiet. We had a wonderful getaway :) The amenities were great, too—everything was very clean, including the dry-separation toilet. You can also go for lovely walks starting right from the property.
