Hey, I'm
Olaf
English, German
We love being on the road ourselves with our T5 with roof tent. We know how difficult it can be to find good, remote pitches in the countryside. That's why we have decided to offer a pitch on our farm directly on the Mittelland Canal in the countryside.

A beautiful spot, spacious, located right by the canal and the many bike paths in the area. Perfect. It would be great if they added a graywater disposal option at some point—otherwise, it’s top-notch!!! We’ll be back.
A really nice place near the canal where you can go for a wonderful walk. Highly recommended
Very warm and friendly hosts. Everything was as described. Great experience, we will be back.
The place is exactly as described, it's simply gorgeous and absolutely idyllic. I was actually able to watch a bambi every evening and hares hopped across the grounds. I will definitely be back again!
We had really nice days with Olaf! The pitch is spacious and nicely situated by a small stream! Every day the deer from the neighborhood visited us! The canal is in the immediate vicinity and can be reached quickly on foot with the SUPs! Anyone looking for peace and relaxation is in good hands here! We felt very comfortable 🥰
We had a quiet overnight stay by the babbling brook. The canal can be reached in a few minutes up the road and from the pitch you can see the big ships passing by. In the morning Olaf brought us a lovingly packed breakfast basket with fresh bread rolls, cheese and jam, honey and eggs from his own production - delicious!!! We felt very comfortable and welcome! Keep up the good work and see you soon! Then I'll book a yoga class too!
This overnight stay was a super spontaneous booking during a business trip, and I am really impressed with how uncomplicated everything went. The entire communication via WhatsApp was absolutely great and made the last-minute planning much easier. I was gently woken up in the morning by the chirping of birds and the soothing sound of water - a wonderful start to the day! Many thanks for that! I will definitely keep this destination in mind for future stays.
The accommodation was even more beautiful than described. It was wonderfully quiet. Olaf and his wife were more than accommodating. Homemade honey, eggs, jam and homemade tinctures and ointments were always available. It was clean and tidy. Furthermore, we were woken up every morning with a breakfast (which you can book). The canal was within 5 minutes walking distance. We will definitely be back and are already looking forward to our next stay with you. I should also mention that you support Nabu and I am absolutely thrilled about that. Best regards from the Schmitz family
We had very nice hosts always helpful and friendly despite the rain we had a great vacation and nice stay highly recommended
Very nice reception, very nice pitches, very nice for walking and cycling. Top all round. During the week there may be some work noise from the nearby quarry, otherwise absolutely quiet. I felt very comfortable!
Nice pitch next to the Mittellndkanal. We ordered breakfast and it was very good. Lovely hosts. Quiet and lots of walking in the area.
Very nice pitch nice relaxed hosts. Will be back
Olaf and Stefanie are super lovely hosts, friendly communication, no complications. Stefanie's sound relaxation was especially good at the end of our 1 month trip and the breakfast basket was lovingly prepared. Thank you very much! We would love to come back. Oh yes, we took some delicious honey from the stall.
We received a friendly and personal welcome from Olaf. All the communication was great. One of the pitches is not completely flat, but we didn't mind. As we were only passing through, we arrived late and left early, so we weren't able to discover and experience everything. Nevertheless, a highly recommended site!
Wonderful get-away in great surroundings! The yoga class was fully relaxing and grounding and the farm's own breakfast basket was the perfect start to the day! What a wonderful time with Olaf and Steffi! Thank you :)
Everything was as described. Very nice hosts. Your honey is very tasty 😋 Thank you
We stayed 2 nights with roof tent and dog with Olaf and Stefanie. Uncomplicated, friendly and helpful. We'd love to stay here again. The breakfast basket with honey from their own apiary and eggs from free-range chickens made our short vacation a special experience.
Unfortunately, we were unable to travel due to a medical emergency in the family. But we will definitely make up for it. The whole communication with Olaf was great. Very friendly and prompt responses to all messages. We look forward to making up for the weekend - hopefully soon.
I came along relatively spontaneously with my bike and tent. Everything went really well. The communication went smoothly. I made myself a small fire for a donation and was able to use the dry, separate toilet. Everything was clean and great. The location is also as described directly on the Mittelland Canal. I drove from there to Hörstel to the start of the Hermannsweg. All in all, I can only say that I would love to come back!
The site is beautifully situated next to an old half-timbered house. We had a lovely walk along the canal and along the signposted Teuto loops. The rolls for breakfast were excellent! Many thanks for the hospitality.
A nice pitch close to the Mittelland Canal with friendly hosts. A place to switch off.
It was very nice staying with you 🙏🏼☺️ We will be back again.
Unfortunately I was unable to travel. However, I had very friendly communication several times, by email and also by phone. I will definitely book this place again. If only to get to know Olaf personally.
Very nice and idyllic... definitely recommendable 😊
Very nice host, gladly again.
A beautiful place right on the Mittelland Canal. Friendly hosts.
If you love peace and nature, this little paradise is just right for you. Olaf and Steffi are perfect hosts. We will definitely be back .
We were more than satisfied! Very cozy, rustic property and two great, wonderfully located pitches in the middle of nature. There was a babbling brook next to our pitch and we were surrounded by peach trees. The two hosts are a very nice and open couple, who we immediately liked. We felt right at home! The proximity to the Mittelland Canal makes the site even more attractive, as anyone who wants to can also go into the water there, which was ideal for us as three dog owners. We would have liked to stay longer if the weather had cooperated. But we'll be back, that's for sure! 😄 Thank you Gerd and Petra
Nice uncomplicated hosts, with a nice parking space. Gladly again.
Very nice hosts in a beautiful, quiet corner of the world. Very helpful, we can only recommend. Monika & Uwe
Beautiful pitch, very close to the Mittelland Canal, with very nice hosts. A toilet tent (dry separate toilet) was set up especially for us.
Olaf and his wife made us feel very comfortable. From the pitch we could see the passing ships on the Mittelland Canal. In the evening we got a fire bowl with wood from Olaf and made ourselves comfortable. During the day, we went cycling along the Mittelland Canal. Our dogs were always with us. The area is nice and quiet and idyllic and our hosts were very nice and friendly. We will definitely go back again.
The perfect place for retreat and relaxation! I spent a wonderful 4 days there and felt very comfortable. The caravan, surrounded by nature, offers everything you need and is incredibly cozy, and Olaf is always there for questions or requests. Thank you for the wonderful time!
We received a friendly welcome. The place is very quiet. You can get everywhere quickly by bike. You can buy fresh organic eggs and honey from Olaf. We would love to come back
Quiet place within walking distance of the canal. Olaf and Stefanie are super nice hosts - frogs croaking, birds chirping, great!
Super nice hosts. The place is beautiful and quiet. Olaf even brought us bread rolls on Saturday, what a service. Would go there again!
We found a nice quiet spot next to a stream. A short, friendly welcome and we were able to relax. We were traveling with a roof tent and awning and would come again any time. A clear recommendation
Very nice place between fields and the canal, super uncomplicated hosts, fresh organic eggs and the view through the trees of passing ships...great! Electricity was available for little money. If I'd had more cash with me, I would have bought the honey too...😉
We stayed with Olaf over Whitsun with our caravan and motorized dinghy. His very nice farm is very quiet and remote, but easily accessible. The 2 pitches are far enough apart so that you are on your own. Infrastructure is very, very good!!! Ideal for water enthusiasts. The Mittelland Canal in the immediate vicinity and also the Dortmund Ems Canal as well as the Ems invite you to swim or relax in a few minutes by car. The contact was very good as well as the pitch itself and also on site Olaf takes care of his guests! We can only recommend the farm's own eggs and honey. Perfect! Full recommendation!!! We would love to come back!
Super nice hosts! We were there with 2 roof tents, perfect pitch and enough space directly on the Mittelland Canal. Great area for bike tours and hikes directly from the pitch. Every wish was fulfilled by the host. We would love to come back and can highly recommend this site! Christopher, Sabrina, Christoph and Sabine
Very nice and courteous hosts. We wanted for nothing. Everything worked out great. Nice and uncomplicated. We can only recommend it.
A great place in the immediate vicinity of the canal. Not only boat lovers but also nature lovers will get their money's worth here. Wildlife in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle! In addition, delicious eggs and honey from the farm at fair prices! Thank you very much!
Nice quiet pitch on the canal. You can see the ships partly and the chugging of the engines lulls you to sleep. By the way, thanks for the bread. Come back with pleasure.
Visit in September for a few days, very uncomplicated communication in advance, stay was very pleasant, area great for exploring by bike, especially great we felt the "muffled chugging along" of the large barges....has what very calming!!! thanks again to Olaf and a clear recommendation for a visit Andreas & Corinna
Who is looking for peace and idyll is right here. Very friendly hosts who make it as pleasant as possible for the guest. Everything was as described.
Hosts were super nice and helpful. Have felt really comfortable. Surroundings invites you to hike and bike. Come back very gladly 😀
We were quite spontaneously for one night with Olaf and were very pleased that he has accepted our request at such short notice. The communication with Olaf went super and also our short acquaintance was very nice! We stood with our Sprinter on a green area in front of Olaf's house next to a horse pasture and the adjacent very quiet little street (I did not notice a single car). The Mittellandkanal is in the immediate vicinity, but not visible from the site (so it was not indicated, so we knew that before). For our stopover we found the place at Olaf good :)
Olaf is a fantastic host, he gave us great tips and was always very nice and friendly. The spot was totally beautiful , great location . We were thrilled, thank you very much 😊
Communication very good, unfortunately, could not start the visit but we will make up for that
I unfortunately could not arrive- yet- in contact extraordinarily helpful, very friendly, cordial and solution-oriented! I look forward to arriving there in the future!
Everything as described, very relaxing and great hosts. Come again with pleasure Mike and Steffi
At Olaf and Stefanie we were warmly welcomed, although we were a little late - they showed us directly the place and the watering hole and connected us to the electricity. There were fresh cherries and tips for swimming in the nearby canal - after a very quiet night in our camper under the big oak tree on the meadow right next to the farm, we made our simple breakfast a feast with fresh eggs from the Swedish flower chickens and honey from the bees from the orchard with the circus wagon very regional. Gladly again!
I unfortunately could not arrive but the communication was super friendly 😊
06/23. Here we spent our first time (camping). 2 nights and ☀️ days in a beautiful and large garden, with young fruit trees and an old oak tree that gave a lot of shade. As newcomers to camping, we felt at home here. The two hosts are friendly, calm and helpful. Our dog loved watching the chickens, my wife liked the walks along the water. I have become a fan of the dry separation toilet, looked new and smelled new too, I enjoyed visiting it 🤣. Conclusion : Clean, quiet and natural. Cell phone reception very good (optional mobile router for wifi) . Thank you for the honey and fresh eggs. Gladly again. LG Felix & Frauke 👍🏼
It was a dream, a beautiful cottage in the green nice hosts and the food with honey and fresh eggs went well with breakfast. Come again with pleasure 👍
Was super good for camping, a construction trailer and a few small trees provided shade and the meadow was nice and soft. The new dry separation toilet was also pleasant to use. Firewood and fire bowl were available and could be used. Very nice people, happy to come again!
Thank you very much for the nice stay! It was nice and quiet on the meadow directly on the Mittellandkanal. The hosts were very nice, showed us the new separation toilet and even offered to get rolls early in the morning. Overall, it was a nice and quiet experience.
We spent a quiet weekend here, perfect for cycling :) Even bread service was there! Thanks again!
Unfortunately, we had to cancel. Could not come. But the contact we had via WhatsApp was VERY nice.
The hosts are very nice and the place and the surroundings are very beautiful. We have made great hikes. The only drawback: Unfortunately, we did not have a clear view of the Mittellandkanal. That was a bit of a shame, but it was within a few minutes from our place.
We were greeted very friendly and got a nice and quiet place. From the roof tent we could see the ships passing by. A wonderful place for walks along the canal. In addition, Stefanie gave us a great tip for the next day, where we could go for a walk. We will be happy to come back again... Best regards 🙋🏼♀️ Norina
An idyllic, wonderfully quiet place with a starry sky and a beautiful view of the ships from the Mittelland Canal. There you can also walk well. Our hosts were very helpful and friendly. There we come gladly also times again. We were there with our team. A tip for the approach for caravan drivers: Via the Töddenweg (western crossing) it is easier and clearer to the place.
We spent two days with Olaf on the meadow next to his beautiful house. The location is great, super quiet in the green and behind it directly the Mittellandkanal, great for walking. We could relax wonderfully and enjoy the nature.
Nice host, quiet and beautiful place! We were very happy to be there :)
Olaf is a very nice host. The place is very nice, quiet and a good starting point for bike tours. We like to come back
Very quiet and beautiful pitch under old oaks. In the morning you are awakened by the chirping of birds. Very nice hosts. If you are looking for peace or want to make bike tours, the place is highly recommended. We are very happy to come back.
We were received super friendly, were allowed to choose the pitch. Water and electricity was already prepared and the area is wonderful!
Great place for digital nomads. Don't forget your swimsuit! PS: I'll be happy to come back.
