Rhön farmhouse in Kaltenwestheim

Holiday home in the Rhön

Our farmhouse in Thuringia was built at the beginning of the 20th century by a local carpenter and his family, mainly in half-timbered construction. It was one of the few houses to survive a village fire in the final turmoil of the Second World War. We have lovingly renovated the house and tried to preserve the old character of the house in many places, e.g. the original wooden floorboards in some rooms, old window openings reopened.

The farmhouse is built on a slight slope. It offers space on 170m2, spread over the first floor, 1st floor and the attic, which has been converted into a large room. The cozy farmhouse is fully equipped. There are a total of 5 bedrooms, a kitchen with adjoining dining room, 2 daylight shower rooms with WC and a large living room in the attic. It offers a relaxing stay for up to 10 people. In good weather, you can also use the terrace for a barbecue, for example. There is an adjoining storage room with another fridge.

The house is located in the Thuringian Rhön, in the former border area to Hesse, so that e.g. hikes along the green belt are very well possible. The highest mountain "Ellenbogen" of the Thuringian Rhön can be reached perfectly by a hike from the house. Natural building materials such as clay plaster, soft wood fiber boards, well-insulated, rear-ventilated and untreated larch wood facade, old floorboards supplemented by Rhön oak floorboards and wooden windows ensure a very good indoor climate. Carpentry work made from Berlin reclaimed wood, original Rhön farmhouse furniture combined with modern components underline the cozy and authentic ambience.

The entire house is non-smoking.

Let yourself be enchanted by the fascinating atmosphere of the region

The Rhöner Bauernhaus Thüringen and the Rhöner Scheunenwohnungen Thüringen are located in the UNESCO Rhön Biosphere Reserve at an altitude of approx. 480 metres in the central Rhön, not far from the Hessian border.

Numerous beautiful hikes can be undertaken from the house, including to the highest mountain in the Thuringian Rhön, the Ellenbogen. In summer, you can also explore the area on a mountain or e-mountain bike. A bike hire shop, which also offers guided tours, is located in the neighbouring village. Good shopping facilities can be reached within a radius of 5 km (also by bike).

There are 2 outdoor swimming pools nearby (5 and 12 km) for cooling off on warm days, and one or two bathing lakes can also be reached by car. From May to October, life in the countryside is characterised by numerous village and folk festivals. It is always worth keeping an eye out for announcements.

In winter, well-groomed cross-country ski trails invite you to go cross-country skiing in suitable weather conditions, and sledging with children is also very possible.

You can also make beautiful excursions, e.g. to Fulda, Meinigen (state theatre), Eisenach, the Thuringian Forest, e.g. Oberhof as a winter sports stronghold in Thuringia. The peace and quiet and the clear starry sky are unrivalled.

Even in bad weather, an indoor playground offers variety for children, and various catering options can be ideally combined with excursions. You can buy eggs, pasta and various other tasty things from the local farmer, and a tour of the farm can be perfectly combined with this. In addition to the small village playground, there is also the opportunity to play football.
