Pure nature: Apartment 'Tawny Owl' at 'Frau Holle' (Mother Hulda), dogs welcome
Hostelry 'Frau Holle' In the heart of Germany, in the northern Hessian highlands between Kassel, Göttingen and Mühlhausen, lies the traditional hostelry Frau Holle (what means 'Mother Hulda') The detached property from 1884 in the typical half-timbered nestles on a forested mountain flank and borders the nature reserve Bilstein in the picturesque 'Höllental' (hell valley or formerly also called Hulda's Valley) with the remains of the castle Bilstein. With its guesthouse and the cozy tearoom (currently closed) in the former dance hall, it offers an ideal starting point for leisurely hikes in beautiful nature on a variety of premium hiking trails or trips to the old half-timbered towns along the German half-timbered street or the 'Werra-Burgen-Steig'.
The guesthouse The completely renovated guest house in an idyllic and quiet secluded location offers everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The object with great attention to detail, divided into 2 apartments, fulfills its guests everything you can expect from a holiday apartment. A generously equipped kitchen with all modern amenities. A fireplace and a cozy living area invite you to cuddle up. The modern bathrooms of the house have shower and toilet. Both apartments have bright bedrooms. On the inviting south-facing balcony you can unwind and leave everyday life behind.
Apartment 'Tawny Owl' The apartment 'Tawny Owl' is the smaller but still very cozy unit in the guest house. On 35 square meters you will find everything you need for a relaxing holiday; the furniture is made of high-quality Danish design in real wood, instead of laminate you will find parquet and linoleum. In the spacious and well-equipped, modern kitchen (with stove, oven, coffee maker and s.w.) you have enough space for cooking and eating - or just to sit and enjoy with a view of nature. From the kitchen it also goes to the large balcony (for sole use) from which you can look into the forest and meadow. The bright living / bedroom with access from the kitchen also offers enough space and opportunity to dream and relax on the sofa - and of course to sleep in the comfortable beds. Finally, the bathroom: sink, shower, toilet, all contemporary - what can be said more about a bathroom?
Directly in front of the front door of the guest house at the edge of the forest (or almost in the woods) are some hiking trails that invite you to explore nature. Or how about, for example, a visit to the beautiful half-timbered town in the Werra-Meißner district or in neighboring Thuringia? However, here it is good to draw strength for the next day's holiday - and also for the upcoming activities after the holiday.
