DRAUSSEN

Blankenheim, Eifel, Germany

The Eifel is certainly considered one of the most beautiful regions in Germany. A very private retreat in this wonderful region is "DRAUSSEN". Here you can surrender to the changing times of the day, the sound of the wind and the sky full of stars.

The two "DRAUSSEN" cabins were built in spring 2023. "DRAUSSEN" has been open to guests since July 2023. The hosts Astrid and Susanne met in 2020 while looking for a property in the Eifel, when each of them dreamed of a sustainable holiday home in nature alone. By chance, on one of these days in the Eifel, their paths crossed in a bakery. Susanne was just sticking a piece of paper with a property request on the window and Astrid spontaneously spoke to her. This is how "DRAUSSEN" came into being.

The two cabins “Specht” and “Lerche” are inspired by nature and combine minimalist design with sustainability and modern comfort. The generous use of wood creates a warm, comfortable ambience and at the same time creates a connection to the surrounding meadows and forests.

The room concept is well thought out so that you can have a great day and night: In a minimal amount of space, guests will find a kitchen, bathroom, dining and sleeping area with comfortable equipment details such as internet, Sonos speakers, rain shower, panoramic windows for stargazing and many other loving details. Plus plenty of integrated storage space for everything that's important.

Sustainable

Architecture

Sturdy spruce wood encases the cabins from the outside. The Minimal houses meet the highest construction and energy standards. The eco-friendly protective shell forms the foundation of the cabins. High-quality, eco-friendly cellulose insulation protects the houses from the elements—rain, snow, wind, and sunlight. The wooden facade gives the Minimal houses their unique look. The walls inside the cabins are made of natural spruce wood. Underfloor heating provides pleasant warmth, and the oiled oak parquet flooring creates a velvety-soft surface. The elegant, practical kitchens feature high-quality designer built-in appliances.

Environment

The “Lerche” cabin has a solar system on the roof that supplies environmentally friendly green electricity. Attention is also paid to waste separation and biodegradable cleaning and care products are used.

Well-Being

Each cabin has its own exclusive sauna with panoramic windows. The terraces and meadows in front of the cabins are perfect for yoga and meditation. Yoga mats are available in the cabins.
