The Wendland on the Elbe with its wide fields enables nature-oriented holidays between the major cities of Berlin and Hamburg. The region has long been popular and known for sustainability and proximity to nature.
Holidays in the cozy holiday home “Airholt” are particularly relaxing. Noun is omen. Mindfulness and closeness to nature are lived here. As a child, host Klemens spent his holidays in the area with his grandparents and fell in love with the region again during a holiday in 2007. In 2009 we had the opportunity to buy the “Waldhäusle”, which has since been used as a holiday home for the family and for guests. It is constantly being sustainably renovated and beautified. The wooden log house was built in 1978 by a Berlin architect who was also looking for a retreat at the time.
The holiday home can accommodate up to six people in three separate bedrooms. There is a fireplace in the cozy living room. The design is Scandinavian with lots of wood, subtle colors and nature pictures from the Wendland on the wall. From the window you have a view of the forest opposite and - depending on the season - you can hear the cranes or the wild geese. But apart from the beautiful bird noises, there is above all heavenly peace and fresh air to breathe in here.
Since 2023, the holiday region “Wendland.Elbe” has been the second region in Germany to receive the so-called Green Destinations Silver Award for comprehensive and systematic sustainability efforts. In Wendland you can plunge into your holiday fun with a clear conscience.

Sustainable
ArchitectureThe wooden log house stands on a brick foundation. The property is so natural that wood ants have even settled there. The wooden walls in the living rooms in the log cabin part were sanded down so that the beautiful grain can be seen again today. Matching wooden floors were installed in all rooms. The furniture was purchased from sustainable companies.
The cleaning is done by regional workers who are paid well above the minimum wage, have their travel costs reimbursed and have also received an inflation compensation bonus in recent years.
EnvironmentA natural garden and rainwater running from the roof into the garden. Waste separation, sustainable cleaning products and energy-saving heating are a given. Just like a compost heap. As partners of the Elbe River Landscape Biosphere Reserve and members of Nabu, guests are asked to use resources carefully.
