First row at own lake in East Frisia

A secluded property near Detern in East Frisia, with old trees and your own lake. Park your motorhome, caravan or pitch your tent right by the water; if the meadow gets muddy, there's a concrete area with a lake view. In the evening, enjoy the frog concert. Hares and deer occasionally pass by, and sometimes a stork can be spotted along the shore. Your host is Vanessa. Dogs should stay at home. It's not far to Leer, and you can cycle to Burg Stickhausen or explore the nature reserves in the surrounding area.1

What Hinterland writes

„A whole lake just for you. Water that mirrors the sky, where dragonflies dance with sunbeams and where you can dive deep to wash away the dust of everyday life. In the evening, watch the sunset and sit by the campfire, gaze at the stars and breathe in nature.“

Sights in the area1

Stickhausen Castle

The surviving tower of the old moated castle in Detern; a short bike trip for an afternoon without much of a programme.

Pilsum Lighthouse

The yellow-and-red lighthouse behind the dyke, known from the Otto film; the dyke walk there is worth it in any weather.

Lütetsburg Palace

Sprawling landscape park near Norden with old trees and watercourses; a quiet afternoon on foot.

Oldenburg

The nearest larger town, about 38 km away; the pedestrian zone and palace garden work for a rainy day.
