House

WildLandHaus

Hornbostel/Aller, Lower Saxony, Germany

These three special holiday homes are located in Hornbostel on a spacious site, directly at the edge of the Hutweide nature reserve.

Beyond the property lies the open countryside, with meadows and pastures stretching to the horizon and the Aller River flowing nearby. The houses themselves tell a story: they are old timber-framed houses that were carefully dismantled elsewhere and rebuilt here according to ecological building principles.

Inside, they seamlessly blend tradition and modernity. Clay walls create a pleasant indoor climate, while historical structures meet modern, clean furnishings. The result is an atmosphere that feels both cozy and contemporary – calm, warm, and relaxed.

Host Inga Cramer and the team from the Biohotel Wildland, located directly opposite, manage the holiday homes. As part of the Wildland concept, guests can take advantage of numerous hotel amenities upon request: breakfast or dinner, bicycles, canoes, sauna, or yoga. Since Inga took over the hotel in March 2020, sustainable travel has been a central focus. WildLandHaus operates as a closed-loop system – from the kitchen to guest services. This is particularly evident in the subsidiary AllerLiebe, which offers hotel meals in reusable containers and also provides simple, healthy meals for guests of the holiday homes.

The location of the houses is equally suitable for quiet days in nature as for excursions with the family: Serengeti Park, Walsrode Bird Park and Heide Park are nearby, as are the outdoor swimming pool and the Petroleum Museum in Wietze or the historic old town of Celle.

Sustainable

Architecture

These are historic buildings that have been reconstructed using traditional methods. The coach house was last renovated in 2025. Local craftspeople and regional materials were used in all the work, ensuring that the original construction style was preserved and modernized.

Food

The restaurant serves exclusively 100% organic cuisine, seasonal and, wherever possible, regional. Since 2016, the kitchen has been regularly featured in the Slow Food Guide. Working with a production kitchen results in very little food waste, as dishes are only prepared upon order. Leftovers from the breakfast buffet are put to good use, and organic waste is composted on-site and used as fertilizer for the garden. The menu changes every three months, but one particular classic remains especially memorable: the homemade cherry jam.

The accommodation primarily employs staff from the region and also offers apprenticeships for trainees from third countries. A portion of the proceeds from the AllerLiebe brand products is donated to the Urwaldprojekt Deutschland (Primeval Forest Project Germany) and Bioland's insect lobby campaign. Furthermore, host Inga Cramer volunteers as a board member of Bioland Processing and Trade and as the regional spokesperson for Lower Saxony for the BNW (Bavarian Nature Conservation Association), advocating for the practical implementation of circular economy principles in businesses and making them tangible for guests.

Environment

From waste management to room cleaning – the latter carried out every two days using environmentally friendly cleaning products – all processes are regularly reviewed and improved. Even though there's no room for a chicken coop or photovoltaic system on the historic roofs, the commitment to continuously optimizing processes remains high.

Well-Being

The WildLandHaus offers yoga, massages, and a sauna, as well as regularly changing weekend programs ranging from forest bathing and herbalism to mental health retreats. Cycling and hiking trails start directly from the house, and the Aller River invites you to canoe and stand-up paddleboard tours. There is a stable for horseback riders – up to two horses can be brought along; a horseback riding map is available at reception.
