From the fruit of the nearby garden and the fields are made delicious jams, squashes and spirits, and arriving at the appropriate time, you may even make your own jam or syrups yourself (but not spirits, unfortunately!). In the courtyard, grill and campfire cooking parties can be organized with or without help from the personnel. If interested in game, you can walk to the game preserve at the other end of the village to see the otherwise rarely visible wild boars in their natural environment, or choose angling and boating at the picturesque 20-hectare fishing lake, or else on the little lake next to the house. In the basement of the Guest House, tired trekkers are pampered by the wellness service, but even well-relaxed, one cannot resist to a good bubble bath.
