Nature & Experience

UNLIMITED FREE SPACE FOR ACTIVE DISCOVERERS & NATURE LOVERS

Between you and me, we could never decide on a favorite season. That’s because nature and the many adventure possibilities around the Heidegrund offer the perfect opportunity for a pleasurable time out with the necessary freedom all year round.

In spring and summer, the days cannot be long enough for extensive cycling tours or swimming in the lake. In the golden autumn, the heath landscape slowly transforms into a colourful masterpiece: perfect for a relaxed wellness break and long walks. Even in the deepest snow, romantic winter hikes and horse-drawn carriage rides at the dam are a dream.

Well planned!

DEFINITELY NOT DRÖÖG!

ABOUT COUNTRY AND CITY WHISPERS

We agree: The Oldenburger Münsterland is the most underestimated region in Germany. It is definitely not dröög (“Plattdeutsch: boring”) here. But if everyone knew how wonderful it was here, it might be a bit more crowded and the peaceful retreats would no longer be a free space.

So let’s stay as we are: surprisingly versatile. A hotel in the Thülsfeld Talsperre nature reserve in the Oldenburger Münsterland with connections to interesting metropolises. Between nature and world cultural heritage. Between cycle routes and musicals. Between moor and sea.
