Have you ever dreamed of sleeping high up in the branches of old oak trees, with the rustling of the leaves to help you fall asleep and the morning song of the birds as your alarm clock? The Bockhop tree house hostel in Borstel, Lower Saxony, makes this dream come true in a way that will delight real tree house lovers: the houses rest solely on 150-year-old oak trees, without solid foundations, stilts or poles. Up to eight meters above the ground, you will find an oasis of peace that lets you experience nature in a way that is hardly possible anywhere else.
The treehouse hostel currently offers two accommodations: the award-winning treehouse “Bel Etage” (according to its own information, the largest rented treehouse in Germany and winner of 1st place in the international Treehouse Contest 2021) and the house “Solitär”. Both are fully insulated, equipped with a wood-burning stove and infrared heating and can therefore be booked all year round. Including your overnight stay, you have free access to the spa area with heated whirlpool, barrel sauna and outdoor shower as well as to the covered outdoor kitchen on the 25,000 square meter garden grounds.
If you are traveling with children, please note the following: The Baumhaus-Herberge Bockhop is a child-free retreat; guests must be at least 16 years old. This makes it particularly suitable for couples and nature lovers looking for real peace and quiet. Surrounded by horse pastures and in the migration area of cranes that rest here every year on their way to Africa, Bockhop is a place you won’t soon forget. You can find more information in a report on Stern.de.
Bel Etage tree house
The “Bel Etage” tree house is the hostel’s flagship. With 38 m² of living space and a furnished roof terrace of 18 m², it sets new standards in tree house construction. In the living and dining area, the supporting oak tree grows right through the house and gives you a special experience of nature in the middle of the room. The separate bedroom with double bed offers you a beautiful view of the treetop. The facilities also include a Rondo wood-burning stove, a kitchenette and a bathroom with a composting toilet. Bed linen, towels and firewood are included.
Solitaire tree house
The second tree house “Solitär” is in no way inferior to its big brother when it comes to atmosphere. On 32 m², it offers you a cozy living room, a bedroom with double bed, dining area, kitchenette and a loggia to pause and take a deep breath. Here, too, a wood-burning stove and infrared heating ensure that you can spend a pleasantly warm night all year round. Alpaca hair comforters are included.
