Spacious "wild lodge" in the Üfter Mark with a view of a special open landscape in the forest, the renaturalized Boer sand pit. Here you will be surprised three times. Firstly with the excellent paths through the Üfter Mark, secondly with the spacious interior of the lodge and the mega view into the former sand pit.

Quiet place to rest. Unfortunately, people tend to perpetuate themselves. In the form of cigarette butts, chewing gum residue on the table top, etc. Nevertheless, it's nice that there is a rest area and you have a nice, wide view.
