Cute campsite on small fruit meadow

Nestled between moors and heathland in the Nienburg region lies our Heidhorst, a small, secluded farmstead spanning 2.4 hectares, home to horses, a donkey, dogs, sheep, goats, happy pigs and chickens, geese, ducks, and cats.

If you enjoy being surrounded by nature and animals, we look forward to welcoming you as our guests. Cyclists and trail riders are also very welcome.

Nestled between fields, horse paddocks, and a vegetable garden, you can watch foxes and hares say goodnight to each other in the mornings and evenings, observe bats on the hunt, gaze at the stars, or watch the horses dozing.

During the day, our ducks and geese are out and about everywhere.

Little Rosi and Muffin, the barn cats, might say “hello,” and the kite circles over the pasture, hoping to snag a mouse.

Whether you simply want to enjoy the tranquility of country life and the beautiful nature or go on a few interesting excursions, there’s something for everyone here.

We recommend tours to the nearby moor featuring the "Mora" exhibition—the bog body found here—and a ride on the moor railway. We also highly recommend a visit to the crane observation tower in the neighboring village or to the scenic lake in Uchte.

With a little luck, you can even watch the cranes fly over our farm with longing in the spring and fall.

The Steinhuder Meer or Lake Dümmer (approx. 30 km away) invite you to go pedal boating, swimming, or for a walk.

You’re sure to have a blast with a day out at the Münchehagen Dinosaur Park (about 20 km away) or the Kirchdorf Natural Swimming Area (about 8 km away).

If possible, you can get fresh, farm-fresh eggs from happy chickens, and our farm café is open from noon on Fridays through Sundays.

If you’re interested in our farm and its animal residents, we’d be happy to give you a tour—cuddle factor guaranteed.

Everything is optional, nothing is mandatory.

It’s just as fine if you’d rather be completely self-sufficient and enjoy your peace and quiet.

Various spots on and around our farm invite you to linger: with a view of the paddock, under the old trees of the small orchard, or in one of the many spots between the goat and pig pens—everyone is sure to find their favorite spot.

In Uchte, 4 km away, you’ll find various shopping options, doctors, pharmacies, a veterinarian, banks, and a variety of restaurants for both light and hearty meals.

We’re excited to welcome our guests and look forward to meeting each and every one of you.
