Pets not allowed
In the midst of a beautiful natural area is our permaculture paradise that we love to open and share with others during the summer! It is a place for peace, wonder and (nature) connection. Between a group of thick pine trees stands our cozy canvas tent, nice and cool and sheltered. The strength and charm of our place and what we offer lies in its purity and simplicity. In the center is our ecological vegetable and flower garden and a few meters from the tent our chickens scratch. All kinds of birds sing and frogs croak you to sleep. Much of it is shared land. We also live in a chalet here, but there is plenty of room for your privacy. There are several sitting and lounging areas, and the tent is also close to a former swimming pond. (Someday we hope to make it swimmable again :) ). There is a shared composting toilet and a fire pit where you can make a fire.
Nature and surroundings
We are located in the heart of the green Kempen, in the middle of the Grote Netewoud , a series of unique nature reserves along the Grote Nete and its tributaries. This includes nature reserve Het Griesbroek, in which we are located, with the Grote Nete in our 'backyard'. So you don't have to go far to find many forms of recreation in and around nature: hiking, cycling, adventurous nature-experiences and visiting cultural heritage. Unique drifting dunes, rare trouser forests, flowery grasslands and heathland combined with old water mills and museums.... you will find it all here. We are also on the border with the Province of Limburg, so perfectly located if you want to visit Bosland with its countless hiking trails or want to explore by bike in Limburg's cycling paradise.
