A secluded spot by the pond, surrounded by trees—all to yourselves during your stay.

If you’re not looking for a traditional campground but rather a simple, special spot surrounded by nature, this is the place for you. You can pitch your own tent right on the private pond property and spend a quiet weekend or a few days there with friends.

The property is surrounded on all sides by trees and dense vegetation and is completely secluded from view. Around the small natural pond, there are mowed areas for several tents, shaded spots, and various rustic seating options.

At the fire pit right by the pond, you can grill, cook, sit together, and wind down the evening by the fire—of course, only if weather and local conditions allow for a fire.

Here’s what you can expect:

🌿 Private natural campsite reserved exclusively for your booking

🏕️ Ample space for multiple tents

🌳 Completely secluded and surrounded by trees

🌊 Small natural pond right on the campsite

🔥 Fire pit for grilling, cooking, and gathering

🪵 Rustic seating by the pond

💧 Well with a hand pump and water for household use, e.g., washing dishes

🚽 Simple compost/sawdust toilet

🌾 Meadow, trees, and plenty of nature

📱 Cell phone reception available, in case you want to stay reachable

There’s also an old, custom-designed construction trailer on the property that gives the site its special character. It’s being gradually renovated and isn’t currently available for sleeping.

Hiking & Surroundings:

Around the campsite and in the Franconian Forest, there are plenty of opportunities for walking, hiking, and exploring the area. This makes it easy to combine your stay with a hike—and afterward, you can head back to your own pond and fire pit.

A contact person lives nearby and knows the area well. If you have any questions about the campsite, how to get there, or hiking and excursion options, feel free to reach out to her. Of course, the campsite itself will be entirely yours during your stay.

Good to know:

The site is intentionally simple, natural, and rustic. It is not a traditional campground with restroom facilities or full amenities.

There are no showers and no standard electrical hookups.

The well water is not certified as drinking water. Please bring your own drinking water.

You cannot drive directly to the campsite. Parking is available nearby, and from there it’s only about 100 meters on foot to the property. You’ll therefore need to carry your luggage a short distance.

The pond is a natural pond and not a designated swimming pond.

Cell phone reception is generally available but may vary depending on your carrier and device.

Ideal for couples, friends, and small groups seeking peace, nature, and privacy who prefer to have their own space rather than be surrounded by many other campers.

Larger groups are possible by arrangement. A adjusted rate applies for groups of 7 or more people.

  • We spontaneously decided we wanted to get out of the city and came across this app. After browsing for a few minutes, we found this little gem. We sent an instant booking request and got a response very quickly. After a brief conversation with David and confirmation, we set off on Friday evening. Once we got off the highway, the scenery quickly turned rural and very, very quiet. It was already dark when we arrived. David was already waiting for us, so we found the place right away. We went over the basics together, and he showed us around. The path to the site itself isn’t really a “path” per se. It’s a good 100 meters on foot across a field—you can only guess what’s there. It felt almost like the wardrobe in *The Chronicles of Narnia*: you walk through a small passage at the edge of the forest and suddenly find yourself right in the middle of it. It wasn’t until the next morning that we really saw where we’d ended up. A little world of its own. The fire pit right by the pond, with a water source next to it. (Very clean and cold.) We were able to wash up and cool off there. On the way to the car to buy something for the grill, we were also invited in for coffee. But we were in a hurry and had to pass. There’s a restroom, too—a little cabin with a door. Inside, a regular toilet seat, toilet paper, and peace and quiet. Underneath is a hole and a trough where, after doing your business, you sprinkle some sawdust or wood shavings. (Completely odorless.) My wife is always a bit picky about this sort of thing, but it was totally fine. Firewood for the stove was also provided, and you could spread out however you liked. We found the peace and idyll there that we’d been hoping for. As a bonus, you could even see the Milky Way at night. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks :)
