Schleswig-Holstein

A region that knows craftsmanship

When we moved here, we noticed it quickly: the farm shops don't open every day — but what they offer grows right next door. The old farmhouses are tended, not merely inhabited. Gardens, fences, front doors — you can see that people here care about what surrounds them.

That inspired us. The sign at the entrance is our small contribution to that spirit — one we found here and have come to deeply appreciate.

Location

In the heart of the Elbe Marshes

The farm lies peacefully and centrally on the Elbe dyke – the Elbe marshes just a few minutes' walk away, Hamburg comfortably reachable.

The dyke here is the historic inner embankment – built centuries ago to reclaim land from the marsh – sitting between the farmland and the younger, larger outer dyke that now runs along the Elbe. This green strip between old and new dyke is a peaceful place to walk, cycle, and watch the ships pass.

Your Hosts

The Zeyer Family

We are Julia and Fedor Zeyer – with our four children (aged 3 to 14), we live right here on the farm. Life here is accordingly lively at times, but that is exactly what makes this place so special.

The thatched farmhouse from 1724 is our home – and the holiday apartment is our passion project. With great attention to detail, we have transformed the former outbuilding in 2017 into a place where guests can truly arrive and unwind.

As your host family, we are on site and available for any questions at any time – in person, uncomplicated, and warm-hearted.
