Beautiful place to watch life on the fens and in the forests at a quiet moment. Binoculars come in handy here.

Once upon a time there was a beautiful youth hostel on the edge of a forest, where an old forest ranger used to live, but where children now play, elves live and dolls can talk. The forest ranger disappeared and was succeeded by Elly, who has been running this youth hostel with heart and soul for 20 years now. Families with children, cyclists and hikers love to spend the night cheaply in this wonderful hostel. On the terrace you can enjoy yourself while the children have fun in the playground and the adventure course. If a playground alone does not convince you. Then you will find a real play forest here! Here you do not have to stay on the paths, you can build camps, climb trees, make witch's soup or sculpt with mud. Children are challenged to go completely wild. Fantasy and creativity come first. Wonderful, isn't it? The Forest Ranger's House is also the starting point of the Gravinnekespad. Even more adventure and hours of fun in the middle of nature.
