Corten Steel Barn with Kamin & Japandi Vibe

Five bedrooms, surprisingly spacious rooms, and a Corten steel facade that blends into the village like a simple barn: This house in the national park doesn’t reveal its true character until you take a second look.

This 80-square-meter oasis of comfort, designed in the Japanese minimalist style, features a 6-meter-high ceiling and a large wood-burning stove for cooler days. The 40-square-meter kitchen-living room, with a freestanding cooking island and a spacious dining area, offers plenty of room. Built from natural materials and wood, the house smells wonderfully fresh.

In the garden stands an old apple tree, under which you can sit by the campfire at dusk until the only sounds are your own breathing and the crackling of the fire.

The national park is perfect for forest bathing. Crystal-clear lakes like Fürstenseer See, with its natural swimming area, and the narrow Luzin Lake with its goat pasture are the highlights of the area. At Café Kudu, diagonally across the street, you’ll find homemade cake, cappuccino, and Aperol Spritz.
