  Very idyllic area, well-kept swimming pond around the corner, sanitary facilities and showers are also available a few meters away on the neighboring campsite. It's great that WLAN is provided, as reception is limited. Very uncomplicated arrival possible. Thanks for that! The pitch is unfortunately unkempt, with old moss and knee-high weeds sprouting from the joints in the paving stones. Useless objects and broken lamps are lying around. A great pity, because it would take very little effort to fix this. If you like things to be well-defined, this is the place for you. If you like it free and natural, you should park directly by the bathing pond in the public parking spaces.

  We booked this pitch for three days based on the positive reviews and appealing photos. The communication with Sonja was friendly, helpful and quick. Unfortunately, however, the pitch was very overgrown and unkempt. Broken lamps lay in the yard, weeds everywhere and the meadow had not been mowed for weeks or even months, all full of (unbelievably!) man-high thistles. Sonja herself told us that campers rarely come and if they do then only for one night, unfortunately that's exactly what it looked like. We were also told to use dog bags when we booked, which is a matter of course for us, even if it was sometimes not so easy in the tall grass. In addition, there was a big festival that weekend and The area around the houses, pitches and meadows was very well maintained and it was a bit embarrassing when people walked past us. The landlords also came by briefly and asked if everything was OK, although they saw how our dog got stuck all over the place with the drag line when we were walking it :) Very, very unfortunate, because with a little effort it wouldn't have been necessary. ________________________ Reply from the hostess: ________________________ Thank you very much for your feedback. We are sorry that our pitch did not meet your personal expectations. We take feedback seriously and would like to take the opportunity to clarify a few points and to classify them from our point of view. Our property is located in the middle of a natural environment and is consciously maintained in accordance with ecological principles. The meadow, which is described as "overgrown" in the assessment, is a certified natural garden in accordance with the guidelines of the district administration. This type of management - such as late mowing - serves to preserve biodiversity, especially wildflowers, insects and birds. We understand that this differs from a classically trimmed lawn, but we see this as a valuable contribution to nature conservation. With regard to the meadow, we would also like to emphasize that it is not designated as a dog play area. Although the pitch is adjacent, it is a separate, well-maintained area that is intended to provide our guests with a break close to nature. The surrounding area offers numerous paths and areas for walks with your dog - away from the sensitive flower meadows. We are really sorry that your dog is so difficult, according to your statement, and that you can't get along with him outside. We understand all the less the criticism of our large fenced property. Because the dog obviously felt very comfortable. As for the "broken lights" mentioned: this was a technical problem, as the last guests had hit them with their camper van and not reported them. However, we always pay attention to safety and cleanliness. On the issue of communication: We had greeted you personally and asked if everything was OK - an opportunity on which you did not address your discomfort. That's a shame, because minor misunderstandings can often be clarified or resolved immediately in a direct conversation. The naturalness of our property deliberately sets it apart from standardized facilities. It appeals to people who value tranquillity, individuality and closeness to nature - which is also experienced and appreciated by the majority of our guests. We wish you and your dog places that better suit your needs for future trips and hope that our contribution to nature will also be appreciated - even if perhaps only at second glance.

  Everything was as described. Very quiet and the public toilets were well maintained. The communication with Sonja was also friendly and helpful. Spent some lovely days there and will definitely be back.
