  One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to with my dogs. Not only are the surroundings absolutely worth seeing, but so is the campsite itself. Many hosts could learn a thing or two from Katja and Bernd. The site is very well-maintained, beautifully situated on the edge of the forest with a swimming pond accessible directly from the site. On the campsite’s lawn, there’s a fishing cabin equipped with a refrigerator, a two-burner stove, and seating. There’s a solar-powered shower outside, and the restrooms are very, very clean. As I mentioned before—many hosts could learn a thing or two from them. Katja and Bernd are incredibly warm and welcoming people who make sure you have everything you need. In the evening, we had a barbecue together and had a really nice chat. We’re absolutely thrilled and will definitely visit them again! Katja Bernd Thanks for everything ♥️

  This is the most beautiful place on earth that I know of. This was our second time here, and we'll definitely be back. Bonny and Katja are such kind-hearted people. If you don't feel at home here, there's nothing anyone can do to help you.

  Katja and Boni gave us a very warm welcome. They took plenty of time to show us around at a leisurely pace, offered us a cold drink, and we had some very nice conversations right from the start. Since a thunderstorm was forecast, they even let us spend the night in the little cabin—a wonderful and very thoughtful gesture for which we were very grateful. We found it especially convenient to be able to keep our food and drinks cool and even use the freezer. The outdoor shower in the garden is a true nature experience, and the large swimming lake is perfect for relaxing and swimming—simply beautiful. Katja and Boni are two incredibly kind, warm-hearted, and down-to-earth people. We felt completely at home and really enjoyed our lovely conversations. We’d love to come back and can wholeheartedly recommend this place!

  During the peak of the first record-breaking heat wave of 2026, we had a great camping weekend at Bernd and Katja’s place. We couldn’t have picked a better spot. It was much more pleasant there, surrounded by the valley, forest, and lake (23 degrees at breakfast there compared to 33 degrees in Frankfurt). They welcomed us with a drink and provided helpful tips about the campground and the surrounding area. They live in the house right on the campground. The camping area, lined with a row of trees, has shade in the morning and afternoon/evening and is relatively flat, making it ideal for pitching a tent. The swimming lake right next to the campground—a former trout pond constantly fed with cool, fresh water from the Trienzbach—is wonderful for swimming. In this artificial lake with a muddy bottom, adults can stand almost anywhere. There’s a ladder to get into the water; the bottom is a bit rocky at first, but you’ll find your way. We didn’t have any problems with mosquitoes. The campground also has a restroom building and a common room with a refrigerator and freezer, as well as a sink and two hot plates (no cookware provided). The freezer contained popsicles (billed via a tally sheet). We were happy to take advantage of this. Cold water plus an electric kettle made for good dishwater. Bernd recently set up a new solar shower that can be used outside at the edge of the meadow (with tap water). In addition to the lake, there are a few smaller ponds with carp and rainbow trout. Flowing between them is the Trienzbach stream, which we hiked along for quite a distance upstream on a hot day—wonderful! About a kilometer from the stream, you’ll find a mini-Stonehenge (“Circle of Water”), a grotto (for meditation), the upside-down tree “Wurzelino,” as well as a Kneipp pool and a barefoot trail. All of this is far away from roads and traffic. A real little paradise. We’d love to come back again.
