A duck!




Hard to believe: Yesterday a wild duck from the nearby river arrived to try out our pool. The animal stayed overnight and then left. Maybe the space is suited better for our guests, but not so much for ducks ...

The pool is ready now!



The new pool (6 x 10 m) is waiting for you! 
The water is really wonderful: natural water from our well, suited for drinking. It is kept clean using a special cleaning facility needing only a tiny amount of chlorine.
