Experience unforgettable moments in our private natural paradise in the heart of the Palatinate Forest. Set in a secluded location by a small, idyllic lake, crystal-clear water and absolute tranquility await you—far away from traffic noise and the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
You can park just a few meters from the shore! Treat yourself to some downtime in our sauna with a lake view or our hot tub (available as an optional add-on) on a mini-island. Or get active with some fishing or a beautiful hike through the Palatinate Forest.
*Special highlights available as add-ons:*
--> Hot tubs: We have two wood-fired hot tubs for you. Our large hot tub (for up to 6 people) is right next to your campsite on the shore. Alternatively, there’s our two-person hot tub, idyllically situated on a mini-island in the middle of the lake—complete with a floating drink holder! 😉 Both are perfect for soaking, relaxing, and stargazing. ✨🛀
--> Sauna with lake view:
Treat yourself to pure relaxation in our wood-fired sauna, all to yourself right on the lake shore! Enjoy the magnificent view of the water while you sweat, then cool off properly: large stone steps lead you to a refreshing dip right at the spring’s outlet into the lake. True natural wellness! 🌲🛀
*Activities:*
Whether swimming, fishing, or stand-up paddling—our lake offers a wide range of possibilities. We’re happy to provide a SUP board upon request.
*Nature experience:*
Observe the local wildlife, enjoy hikes or bike rides in the surrounding forest, and let your mind wander.
We look forward to seeing you! ☀️🌲🐟

Nikolas and his little family gave us a very warm welcome! Since our sons are about the same age, we also spent quite a bit of time together. That was really nice! We really enjoyed the evenings and the peace and quiet (here, you really only hear the trees rustling in the wind and the birds). We would have loved to stay longer on that beautiful property, but our next adventures were calling! We’d love to come back :-)
Amazing place and a very nice host!
It was a wonderful time; it’s a great place to relax. The hot tub is a lovely way to unwind in nature. Nikolas and his family are very kind hosts; he’s always willing to listen to his guests and does his best to accommodate everyone’s needs.

An incredibly beautiful evening view awaits you. You can enjoy a hot tub on the lake or on the shore, which you can use well into the night. Gazing at the stars while soaking in water heated to 40 degrees is an experience that money can’t really buy. Nick and his friends are also very open and totally helpful. For example, our van wouldn’t start when we were leaving. Thanks to numerous helpers, even that wasn’t a problem. Tip for campers who need electricity: bring an adapter and a cable reel. Apparently, a few guests hadn’t thought of that beforehand. Dinner on the dock by the lake is also particularly charming
