Vacation apartment "Squirrel's Nest" in the Wild Auwaldhaus, Zittau Mountains
Our vacation property is a former hunting lodge or Holiday accommodation that can now be used again after years of vacancy. Located on 5000 square meters of fenced area in the middle of the forest, three adjacent, separate quarters in the spartan "lumberjack charm" offer everything you need for an adventurous overnight stay in the forest. The whole man is still required to start a fire: coal tiled stoves or log fires heat the room. Kitchens with electric cookers and refrigerators - filled with food from controlled ecological cultivation on request - allow you to linger in the "bush" as a self-catering.
As a special feature, we offer private, freshly cooked, organic, vegetarian lunches. In consultation, also for on the go in the Zittau Mountains (in beautiful places outdoors, with thermal containers).
The 5000 square meters belonging to the property with stream and pond are fenced child-proof and offer a lot of variety right on site with several sandboxes, swings, climbing castles and other play options. If you are looking for peace and would like to visit us in September, please inform yourself when the Oberlausitzer triangle race takes place. Because then it's loud this weekend.

Wir haben uns das wilde Auwaldhaus angeschaut und sind innerhalb 1 Stunde wieder abgereist, haben also nicht dort gewohnt. Die Hütte im Wald war sehr,sehr einfach. Drinnen war es dunkel und klamm und kühl. Man konnte draußen auf einer Bank am Haus sitzen, die äußere Hauswand war voll mit Spinnweben, und jeder Menge Staub aus dem Wald. Das Springkraut und die Brennesseln schafften es bis kurz vor die Füße. In der Küche gab es anstelle von Blenden oder Vorhängen grobes Sackleinen zum Sichtschutz. Die Haustür war mit einer Dicken Wolldecke abgehängt. Insgesamt entsprach das nicht unseren Vorstellungen und der Tag für ca 90 ist für den gebotenen Standard auch teuer.

Unser Wildes Auwaldhaus ist bewusst urig, naturverbunden und abenteuerlich gestaltet,
wer es lieber komfortabler mag, findet in Jonsdorf und den umliegenden Orten viele schöne Quartiere.
Wir laden unsere Gäste gerade an kühleren Tagen herzlich ein, die Öfen zu nutzen und empfehlen außerdem, sich vor einer Buchung vor allem auf unserer Website einen Eindruck von Charakter und Preisen zu verschaffen.
