Outdoor office: tips, camps, and cabins for an idyllic Hinterland workation

Imagine being able to work in the most beautiful locations in the Hinterland while enjoying the amazing nature around you. A workation in the Hinterland makes it possible to combine work and vacation! Especially if all you need is a laptop and an internet connection, location-independent work lends itself to you. Before we show you our top 10 Hinterland camps and cabins for a workation - by the way, the location on the photos is this camp between Hamburg and Lübeck - here are three basic tips you should consider in advance to be productive and find relaxation at the same time:

Your workstation should be both functional and comfortable. Working from your (camper) bed may be comfortable, but in the long run it can hurt your back. Make sure you have a sturdy table or work surface where you can place your laptop and other work items. This workstation should ideally work both indoors and outdoors, so you can work even on bad weather days. Sufficient light is also important for a comfortable working environment. Here, small clamp lamps can serve as a substitute for desk lamps. Also remember to get an anti-reflective film for your laptop, so you don't have to worry about "annoying" sunlight.

A reliable internet connection is crucial to be able to work effectively. Find out in advance about Internet availability at your chosen tent or campsite. For Hinterland camps and cabins, you can easily filter for Wi-Fi. Alternatively, you can bring your own internet if there is no wifi available at your favorite location. The easiest solution if you go spontaneously is to use your cell phone as a hotspot. Find out in advance how you can upgrade your data volume at your provider. If you travel frequently for work, it's worth taking a GigaCube with or without a contract, for example, since video calls require a lot of data volume. In general, think about the energy supply when you are on the road for work. You can also filter for camps and cabins with electricity. Solar panels or portable batteries can help charge your electronic devices and work tools when there's no power on site. In our guide to practical gadgets that we always have with us, you will find, for example, our recommendation for a solar panel.

A workstation offers the flexibility to combine your work with leisure activities. However, it is advisable to set clear working hours in order to have a regular daily routine - similar to a home office. By managing your time well, you can complete your tasks efficiently while finding time for exploration and relaxation. Be sure to take advantage of the beauty of your surroundings to boost your creativity and generate new ideas. Go for walks in between, take breaks outdoors and breathe in fresh air. Nature can have a positive impact on your productivity and well-being. You're sure to focus best in the Hinterland, surrounded by birdsong and the rustle of trees. You don't need noise-canceling headphones here!
